Job Adverts Analyzer for Cybersecurity Skills Needs Evaluation.

This article presents a new free web-based application, the Cybersecurity Job Ads Analyzer, which has been created to collect and analyse job adverts using a machine learning algorithm. This algorithm enables the detection of the skills required in advertised cybersecurity work positions. The application is both interactive and dynamic allowing for automated analyses and for the underlying database of job adverts to be easily updated. Through the Cybersecurity Job Ads Analyzer, it is possible to explore the skills required over time, and thereby enable academia and other training providers to better understand and address the needs of the industry. We will describe in detail the user interface and technical background of the application, as well as highlight the preliminary statistical results we have obtained from analysing the current database of job adverts.
