It will train personnel to protect Moldova’s systems from cyber threats and effectively counter cyber attacks. This center is being created to reduce the state's vulnerability in the field of cybersecurity by training civil servants, as well as training new generations of specialists in this field. Investments in the creation of this center will amount to about $5 million. The Cybercor Institute will unite the public and private sectors and the academic environment, it is being created with the support of the Future Technologies project, which is funded by USAID, Sweden and the UK, as well as private investors. According to the Future of Jobs 2023 report, there are approximately 3.4 million cybersecurity experts needed to effectively support the demands of the current global economy. Addressing this issue and strengthening the cybersecurity sector in Moldova is critical in the context of the war in Ukraine and the rapid development of digitalization. // 19.12.2023 - InfoMarket.
