Training sessions in CYBERWISER.eu Open Pilot scheme set to start

Four organisations with differing cybersecurity needs are set to start their free customised cyber training course with CYBERWISER.eu in the coming weeks. AKSILIA a technological solutions company in Tuscany,  Ferrovie dello Stato the Italian state-owned rail management company, CyberSolace a small Cyber Security advisory firm and IDS an independent engineering and systems technologies company have all signed up to the CYBERWISER.eu Open Pilots Scheme.

The Open pilot’s scheme allows SMEs, Research & Academia, Large Companies test the CYBERWISER.eu platform free of charge, thanks to EU funding. 

The training is directed primarily towards IT personnel who need to develop advanced skills in cybersecurity, however, training pathways have also been created for individuals from other, non-technical areas of an organisation thus allowing the pilot scheme to be totally customisable to the organisations’ needs. At the moment, the training of these four Open Pilots will focus mainly on courses covering SQL injection and Password Awareness tracking, with more courses to be added as the training progresses.

The duration of the training will be determined by the customised specifications agreed with CYBERWISER.eu. Introductory workshops are the ideal place for these discussions but organisations can also get the ball rolling by completing the application form here. The average length of an open Pilot is between 3 and 6 months. To learn more about the Open Pilots scheme, browse our FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

The Open Pilots scheme is one part of a larger effort by CYBERWISER.eu to address the urgent need for highly-skilled, multi-disciplined cybersecurity professionals, given the increasingly aggressive cyber-landscape that Europe and the world is facing. 

CYBERWISER.eu has been created as an educational, collaborative, real-time civil cyber range platform where cybersecurity competitions will take place, making it the EU’s reference, authoritative, independent cybersecurity platform for professional training.
