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. Eugene 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 during the visit to Armenia. 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.
One of the highlights of Eugene Kaspersky's visit was the presentation
ceremony where he received a doctorate for his outstanding services to
science. The Chairman and CEO of Kaspersky Lab also took part in the
official opening of the Kaspersky Lab Training and CertificationCenter
within the State Engineering University of Armenia. 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.
`We are deeply appreciative of the role that Kaspersky Lab is playing
in the development of information security and the personal
contributions Eugene Kaspersky has made as one of the leading experts
in information protection. We are sure that Kaspersky Lab's expertise
will help our students become excellent IT professionals,' said Ara
Avetisyan, Rector of the State Engineering University of Armenia.
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 training for IT
administrators in state and commercial organizations and discounted
licenses for some Kaspersky Lab products used within government
structures.
The cooperation 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 KasperskyAcademy program
which remains in effect. In February 2013, SEUA hosted the latest
regional round of CyberSecurity for the Next Generation for Russia and
other CIS countries.
