On May 4\u20135, 2026, a practical workshop and info session on cybersecurity were held at Mingachevir State University with the participation of representatives of the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center for students majoring in Information Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event was organized as a continuation of activities carried out within the framework of the \u201cBrain Center\u201d project, in accordance with the cooperation memorandum signed between Mingachevir State University and the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main purpose of the workshop was to strengthen students\u2019 theoretical knowledge in the fields of information security and cybersecurity through practical skills, as well as to increase their awareness of modern security approaches, penetration testing methods, and real cybersecurity challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The training was conducted by employees of the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center, Gulnar Mirhuseynova, Adila Bahmani Aliyeva, and Muzaffar Mikayilov. During the two-day workshop, students were provided with practical information on \u201cFundamentals of Security\u201d and \u201cPentest\u201d. The participants were also introduced to key approaches, defense mechanisms, and testing methods used in the field of cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the event, an info session was also organized regarding the 8th wave of the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center. During the session, participants were informed in detail about the Center\u2019s educational programs, selection stages, participation opportunities, and professional development prospects in the field of cybersecurity. Students\u2019 questions on the topic were also answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be noted that, based on the cooperation memorandum signed between Mingachevir State University and the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center, a hybrid teaching process in the field of Information Security has been launched within the \u201cBrain Center\u201d project. As part of the project, the course \u201cFundamentals of Information Security\u201d was taught in the fall semester, while the course \u201cFundamentals of Cybersecurity\u201d was delivered in the spring semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program not only provides students with modern knowledge and skills in cybersecurity but also enables them to gain practical experience in real projects. With the support of the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center, students will have the opportunity to improve their knowledge in international certification programs such as CompTIA Security+, CEH, Cisco CyberOps, ISC\u00b2 SSCP, and others, as well as benefit from professional development opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project also creates favorable conditions for students to join startups, participate in hackathons and CTF competitions, and play an active role in the development of national cybersecurity products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mingachevir State University plans to continue its activities aimed at developing digital skills, strengthening training of specialists in cybersecurity, and equipping students with practical knowledge that meets the modern requirements of the labor market.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
