National Cybersecurity Academy

National professional personnel is one of the most important factors to enhance cybersecurity. International studies and reports have confirmed that most countries including leading ones in the field of Technology and Engineering are currently suffering a severe shortage of cybersecurity specialized personnel, and the gap between supply and demand of specialized personnel in this important field is increasing, which might become a greater challenge in the future.
And as the National Cybersecurity Authority mandate includes building national cybersecurity capacity, contributing in designing educational and training programs, developing professional standards and frameworks, building relevant standard tests as well as applying them. Therefore, the National Cybersecurity Authority has taken the initiative to establish the National Cybersecurity Academy to qualify national cybersecurity personnel by offering cybersecurity training programs and advanced cybersecurity drills.
