PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerevan is hosting a Week of Friendship with
Kaspersky Lab October 14 through 19, on the occasion of the 80th
anniversary of the State Engineering University.
Eugene Kaspersky, Chairman and CEO of Kaspersky Lab, who arrived
in Yerevan to participate in the events, attended the opening
of Kaspersky Lab Training and Certification Center at the State
Engineering University.
The Center will help bridge the gap between theoretical and practical
education. It also provides future IT security professionals with
the necessary knowledge of contemporary technologies, enabling them
to gain Kaspersky Lab certification while studying at the university.
At the event, Kaspersky welcomed the choice of Kaspersky Lab as
the main IT security provider and urged students to work harder
since they'll have to face rigid exams to receive the Kaspersky Lab
education certificate.
Also, Kaspersky received an honorary doctorate from the State
Engineering University for his outstanding services to science.
Kaspersky and the company's top IT security experts met representatives
of the education and the business community, as well as students from
local technical universities. They spoke about current cyber threats
in Armenia and the wider world and discussed ways to combat them.
"The number of cyber threats is constantly growing, so it is especially
important to train more experts who can combat them. The world's
next generation of specialists needs more than just good knowledge
of the IT security field and strong practical skills - they also
need to be able to think one step ahead and come up with something
really new. I am glad to see that today's students in Armenia are
interested in cyber security and are willing to improve and develop
in this area. And I'll be doubly happy if Kaspersky Lab can help them
do that," said Eugene Kaspersky.
Kaspersky Lab is the world's largest privately held vendor of endpoint
protection solutions. The company is ranked among the world's top
four vendors of security solutions for endpoint users. Throughout its
more than 16-year history Kaspersky Lab has remained an innovator
in IT security and provides effective digital security solutions
for large enterprises, SMBs and consumers. Kaspersky Lab, with its
holding company registered in the United Kingdom, currently operates
in almost 200 countries and territories across the globe, providing
protection for over 300 million users worldwide.
