OmnitechIT expands their training and tuition initiatives with the ‘Short Master Brindisi’ in collaboration with Bari University.

The objective of this short master in Cyber Security is to train professionals with a set of practices that enables entities (e.g., organizations, cities, countries, etc.) in the protection of their physical assets and confidentiality, integrity and availability of their information from threats coming from cyber space, the complex ecosystem resulting from the interaction of people, software and services on the Internet by means of technologies, devices and networks connected to it.

This formative action aims to give students an overview of all-round safety ranging from the application to the network security until they touch issues such as vulnerability, mechanisms for access and authentication and encryption. More specifically, the course is organized into seven training modules, each of which includes both lectures and laboratory.

OmnitechIT, with offices in Italy, Oslo, Stockholm, Madrid, and Dubai is becoming more and more an international operation in need of staff to support the growth of such sites. To start giving the course an international scope, it is expected in the near to reserve 3 seats to students from Albania, so that you can as well start the collaboration with the other shore of the Mediterranean thus reinforcing the relations between Italy and Albania.
