The Cybersecurity Seminars Program, in collaboration with King Saud University, will offer an intensive, hands- on training experience for Saudi University Students. Designed to build practical cybersecurity skills, the pro- gram will cover key areas such as threat detection, inci- dent response, and AI-driven security solutions. Stu- dents will apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios by supporting local community organizations (LCOs) in strengthening their cybersecurity defenses. With a focus on advanced technical skills and community engage- ment, the program will prepare students for a future in cybersecurity, empowering them to tackle evolving digi- tal threats and protect vulnerable sectors from cyberat- tacks.
We are thrilled to receive this generous grant to implement the Cybersecurity Seminars Program at King Saud University during 2025-2026. As one of the leading universities in the Middle East, KSU is committed to advancing cybersecurity education and fostering innovation in this critical field.
