Universities at the Center of the New Cybersecurity Talent Development Program

The National Cybersecurity Authority (AKSK) held a meeting with university rectors, representatives, and the Deputy Minister of Education, where CRDF Global presented a four-year project supported by the U.S. Department of State, focused on strengthening technical and academic capacities in cybersecurity. The project aims to align university programs with the real demands of the labor market and enhance the role of higher education institutions in developing national digital capacities.

The program includes a strategic set of interventions, such as training the trainers, developing practical modules, and reviewing higher education policies, with the goal of enabling universities to build functional structures that can eventually offer SOC-type services training.

The meeting served to define the first steps of implementation and priority activities, laying the groundwork for sustainable collaboration between AKSK, universities, and international partners in building a cybersecurity talent ecosystem.
