History

2024: Joint training project with BI.Zone

BI.ZONE specialists will share their experience with students of the Russian University of Transport (MIIT), and will also help them master the tools to automate the implementation of cybersecurity legislation. BI.Zone announced this on April 17, 2024.

Russian organizations are in dire need of qualified cybersecurity specialists. It is important for such professionals not only to have the skills to counter cyber threats, but also to know the legislation in this area well. Compliance helps minimize the risk of data breaches and financial and reputational losses.

BI.ZONE and the Department of Information Management and Protection of the Institute of Transport Technology and Management Systems of the RUT launched a joint project in which BI.ZONE Consulting experts will share practical experience with students at lectures and conferences.

Students will also take part in master classes where they will master process automation tools in accordance with mandatory requirements in the field of personal data protection (PD), critical information infrastructure (CII) and state information systems (GIS).

The training will be carried out using the BI.Zone Compliance Platform, a platform for automating cybersecurity processes and fulfilling the requirements of legislation on PD, GIS and CII. With the help of the knowledge gained, students will be able to assess the effectiveness of security measures, develop and update a threat model, design a security system, and prepare for certification of information systems, "said Andrei Bykov, head of the data protection consulting center, BI.ZONE.

Through cooperation with BI.ZONE, our students will have the opportunity to expand their professional skills. The partnership will allow them to gain experience in solving difficult problems. Together with BI.ZONE, we will train in-demand specialists who are ready to solve complex and urgent problems in the field of cybersecurity, - said Valentina Sidorenko, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Department of Information Management and Protection, ITTSU RUTH (MIIT).
