The month of October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a dedicated month for the public and private sectors to work together to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity.
This year, Kutaisi International University is actively involved in the awareness month, collaborating on various projects with both students and professors.
At the beginning of the year, USAID and KIU have officially launched a new partnership that establishes a Cyber Security Training Center at the University. The program will address the skills gap and increased market demand for information and cyber security in Georgia. This efficient transition model from education to the cyber security labor market will ensure the engagement of at least 400 participants in three different-level short-term courses in cyber security - Fundamentals of Cyber Security (beginner level), Certified Ethical Hacker (core course), and Ethical Hacker Practical Course (advanced/practical course). The program aims to develop a highly skilled workforce in the field of cyber security.
As part of the project, various interesting activities are planned for October, including the opening of applications for two courses: Certified Ethical Hacker and Practical Ethical Hacking.
