United States : Eugene Kaspersky Receives Honorary Doctorate and
Discusses Viruses and Cyber Threats in Armenia
Kaspersky Lab today announced that Eugene Kaspersky, Chairman and CEO
of Kaspersky Lab, received an honorary doctorate from the State
Engineering University of Armenia (SEUA), the country s leading
technical university. He was presented with the doctorate for his
outstanding services to science.
During Eugene s visit to Armenia, he and the company s top IT security
experts met with representatives of the education and business
community, as well as students from local technical universities.
During the meetings they discussed current cyber threats in Armenia
and the wider world, and ways to combat these serious threats.
The Chairman and CEO of Kaspersky Lab also took part in the official
opening of the Kaspersky Lab Training and Certification Center within
the State Engineering University of Armenia. The Center will help
bridge the gap between theoretical and practical education, while
allowing students to earn certifications from Kaspersky Lab. It will
also provide future IT security professionals with the tools to gain
essential knowledge about contemporary technologies.
Kaspersky Lab s successful association with Armenia began four years
ago following the signing of a memorandum of understanding, entitled
Safe Armenia, with the Ministry of the Economy. This information
security project led to the implementation of a number of educational
programs in Armenian schools, specialist trainings for IT
administrators in state and commercial organizations, and discounted
licenses for some Kaspersky Lab products used within government
structures.
The relationship between Kaspersky Lab and the State Engineering
University of Armenia began in 2009 when a student of the university
won first prize in that year s edition of the international conference
CyberSecurity for the Next Generation. After that, the university
registered as a member of Kaspersky Lab s educational program and
signed an agreement on cooperation within the Kaspersky Academy
program which still remains in effect. In February 2013, SEUA hosted
the latest regional round of CyberSecurity for the Next Generation for
Russia and other CIS countries.
