AISECT launches cybersecurity programmes in collaboration with iZen

Hyderabad : AISECT, which is India's leading Social Enterprise working in the area of Skill Development in semi urban and rural parts of the country, has launched Cybersecurity programmes in collaboration with iZen, a Silicon Valley-based talent empowerment and education technology company. Under this partnership, certificate courses in Cybersecurity Basics and Network Attack Detection will be offered through AISECT's online learning platform AISECTOnline.com.

In this cyber age, cybersecurity is critical to ensure proper operation of everything from financial transactions to power generation, affecting every size and scale of business, government and everyday lives. It is to be noted that India is among the top five countries most vulnerable to cyber attacks. Keeping the future in mind, these courses are designed with "outcome-based training" in order to enhance employability of the students while addressing the need for cybersecurity professionals in the increasingly digital world.

These courses are designed by the world-renowned cybersecurity expert Dr Fred Cohen, the scientist who first defined the term "computer virus" and invented most of the widely used computer virus detection techniques. Dr Cohen is also one of the only 25 Cybersecurity experts in the world, recognized as a fellow of (ISC)2 at "Cybersecurity and IT Security Certification and Training".
