Commenting on the introduction of the program, Abdallah Al Masri, Manager at KCSA said “The program contains five UK government certified training courses from KADDB partner PGI. These practical, hands-on courses, that are taught by KADDB trainers in English and Arabic, teach staff to secure and test information systems and networks and to investigate and respond to cyber security attack’s and incidents.”
The Chief Corporate Development officer, Sebastian Madden along with General Manager for the Levant region Wafa Nimri, and PGI’s head of Information Assurance Training, Steve Meyer other key officials from PGI were present during the launch program.
