Representatives of the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center (AKM) held an info-session at Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU). During the session, it was announced that registration for the new fifth wave of AKM training, organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport (RINN), the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IRIA), and Israel’s “Technion” Institute of Technology, was now open.

Leyla Karimli, the community manager of AKM, provided detailed information on global and national cyber threats and their potential damages. She emphasized that the goal of AKM training programs is to develop the highest level of knowledge and skills for cybersecurity professionals in the country. Karimli invited AzTU students to join the fifth wave of the training programs.

Nemat Rahimli, an employee of AKM, explained that the training programs are based on the curriculum of the “Technion” Institute of Technology in Israel. He stated that foreign trainers assess the IT knowledge and interview skills of participants. Those who succeed in both stages are offered six-month training in “Blue team” (defense) and “Red team” (attack) areas. Successful graduates receive an official certificate from the “Technion” Institute.

It was also noted that AKM has already graduated nearly 180 students, many of whom now work in both government agencies and the private sector. Registration for the training programs closes on November 8.

The session concluded with answers to questions from the students.
