In addition to the core cyber security modules, the program also includes CCNA components, which will enable students to develop a better understanding of computer networks and their security.
CICRA Campus is working closely with leading business conglomerates in Sri Lanka to recognise the certified cyber security professionals who obtain their qualifications from CICRA Campus under this program. This collaboration will help students to gain valuable experience and exposure to real-world cyber security challenges, thereby increasing their employability and career prospects.
CICRA Campus Group Director/CEO Boshan Dayaratne said, “With cyber threats on the rise and the COVID-19 pandemic driving organisations to digital platforms and mobile apps, there is an urgent need for skilled cyber security professionals globally. CICRA Campus is committed to promoting education in cyber security and the new program is a testament to that commitment that will make them highly employable in the job market. As part of its commitment to promoting education in cyber security, CICRA Campus is also offering 10 scholarships to suitable undergraduates who wish to pursue the Certified Cyber Security Professional program. These scholarships will cover the full cost of the program and will be awarded based on academic merit and financial need.”
The launch of the Certified Cyber Security Professional program by CICRA Campus is a significant step towards providing world-class cyber security education in Sri Lanka. This program will not only help students to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to combat cyber threats but also provide them with valuable certifications that are recognised globally.
