About the project
The project will offer training programs adapted to the specific needs of the participating companies and their employees. The training programs will cover the latest cyber security threats and trends, and state-of-the-art methods, techniques and technologies to address the threats. The focus of the programs is adapted to SMEs, which have few employees, limiting opportunities for processes and technology to handle cyber security.
The project will contribute to a strategic and close collaboration between academia, research and industry within the Viken region. The Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) and Østfold University College (HiØ) will jointly manage the activities and give companies access to their state-of-the-art laboratories, equipment and expertise.
