Workshop in Cybersecurity with Zain Telecommunications Company


 

KCST and Zain Telecommunications Company conducted a workshop in the Cybersecurity field in March. The program was designed in line with the requirements of Zain Company to develop their employees' technical and soft skills in the rapidly growing Cybersecurity field. The course was registered as C|SCU Workshop (Certified Secured Computer User) and conducted in collaboration with the EC-Council, an international organisation specialising in certifying Cybersecurity certificates.

The workshop was organised as a part of KCST's CICET program (the Centre of Innovation and Continuing Education and Training). The three-day workshop aimed at increasing cyber awareness and identifying institutional protection applications. The highlights were a study of global and local hacked cases, cyber threats, fraudulent postal impersonation, and SMS fraud. By completing the training hours, the participants qualified to take the test that the EC-Council conducted, in which the participants solved 50 questions that simulated real-life cases. The Zain employees are the first group to take the C|SCU exam in its third edition.

KCST signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Gulf Korean Cultural and Economic Center for Cooperation in the Gulf. This non-profit organisation aims to introduce Korean culture and activate ways of cooperation between various Korean research and educational agencies and their counterparts in the Gulf Area. This cooperation between the two entities is the first Korean cooperation with universities in Kuwait for cultural and research exchange. The agreement includes joint work in various fields, such as holding exhibitions, conferences, lectures, and workshops, by inviting educational specialists such as professors and researchers from universities and research institutes in South Korea to participate in these events and for the Korean Center to be the link between the College of Kuwait for Science and Technology and various institutions and research centres in Korea. Also, it derives its importance from the fact that it opens the way for students of the college and Kuwait to see and benefit from the tremendous scientific and technological progress that distinguishes universities and scientific institutions in Korea, especially the leading technology companies such as Samsung, Hyundai, and others.
