The Training course "Fundamentals of Cyber Security" is being conducted successfully at Kutaisi International University, with over 100 participants selected based on their submitted applications to engage in a program developed by Georgian and German experts in the field. The course covers topics such as: Infrastructure and Security Assessment; Web Security and Resilience; Cloud, Mobile, and Application Security Penetration; Testing and Forensics.
Successful participants who complete the course will receive a certificate from the Kutaisi International University (KIU). Due to considerable interest, "Fundamentals of Cyber Security" is conducted in multiple stages, with the second cohort currently immersed in the program. Attendees from various regions in Georgia will reside in KIU's student accommodation throughout the training period.
The project is funded by the USAID Industry-led Skills Development Program, aimed at developing a highly skilled workforce in the field of cyber security. As part of the project framework, three courses of varying complexity levels are planned.
