Carnegie Mellon to help shape Armenia`s cybersecurity future

ArmInfo. A five-day seminar on "Cybersecurity Risk Management" is currently taking place in Yerevan, led by specialists from Carnegie Mellon University.  

Following the seminar, it is planned to develop an action plan for establishing a cybersecurity system.  Specifically, the seminar focuses on three main areas: establishing a national information security risk management system in compliance with the  European Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2), developing necessary tools and guidelines for its implementation, and enhancing professional competencies in the public sector, critical infrastructure, and the digital economy.

During the five-day discussions, participants will have the opportunity to learn about  international standards, develop risk assessment models, and identify  educational priorities in this area. Special emphasis will be placed  on mapping tasks, knowledge, and skills (Tasks, Knowledge, and  Skills) to ensure  that educational programs align with labor market  requirements.

Recall, Carnegie Mellon University is one of the leading private  research universities in the United States, located in Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania. Founded in 1900, the university is widely known for its  programs in information technology, cybersecurity, artificial  intelligence, engineering, business, and the arts.  Considered a  global leader in computer science and the training of specialists for  high-tech industries, Carnegie Mellon actively collaborates with  governments and companies worldwide and implements educational and  research projects in many countries.
