Dmitry Fedorov, head of educational projects at Positive Technologies (Positive Education), gave a lecture at the Polytechnic University. The topic was "Cybersecurity Specialist in Modern Conditions."
Dmitry Yuryevich spoke to students of the Higher School of Cybersecurity and the Higher School of Artificial Intelligence Technologies, who are studying in top-level educational programs, about the profession of "cybersecurity specialist," the specifics of such a specialist's thinking, and the application of artificial intelligence technologies in solving applied problems in cybersecurity.
Guest lectures expand the standard academic program, providing students with the opportunity to gain unique practical experience and insight from industry experts, helping them better understand the real prospects of their future careers. Interacting with practicing experts can inspire new ideas and encourage further exploration of the topic, emphasized Vasily Krundyshev, head of the educational program.
During the final session, first-year students had the opportunity to personally ask the speaker their questions and receive advice on getting started in their careers. Those who asked the best questions received gifts.
We fully support the Ministry of Digital Development's initiatives, which force the higher education system to step out of its "comfort zone" and begin training cybersecurity specialists not only in accordance with formal standards (regulations, sample curricula), but also those truly in demand in the labor market. Positive Technologies has extensive practical experience in information security and IT, and we are ready to openly share this with aspiring specialists," noted Dmitry Fedorov, head of educational projects at Positive Technologies (Positive Education).
