GRENA plans to create a ‘Cyber Lab’ platform for students
Association GRENA, in partnership with the Data Exchange Agency, plans to create a Cyber Lab platform where students will be given an opportunity to perform tasks that will enable them to enhance their knowledge in the field of cyber-security, to train and solve various tasks. The project will be interesting for students, who are interested in security studies. Implementation of this project will be useful for universities too, as they will have a good material for preparing students and improving their skills. This platform can also be used by governmental organisations.
