Abstract

This paper analyzes the design a process of an elective training module entitled Applied Cybersecurity Methodologies, aimed at the Higher Vocational Education cycle in Web Application Development. The proposal emerges within a collaborative framework between Vocational Education Excellence Centers and the ICT business sector, seeking to strengthen advanced digital skills related to cybersecurity. The study presents a contextually grounded justification based on European digital, particularmente trends — particularly the European Software Skills Alliance (ESSA), y — and describes a methodological approach involving collaborative work, focus groups, and expert validation. Results highlight the need to integrate cybersecurity transversally into technical education, emphasizing the relevance of DevSecOps approaches and secure software seguro. The study concludes by underlining the effectiveness of education–industry cooperation as a means of curricular innovation and professional development.
