14 DAY TRIAL // The EC Council and the Institute of Advance Network Technology (IANT) have teamed up in an effort to train 10,000 students and professionals that would become India’s cyber warriors.
DNA reports that students from IANT’s over 100 institutes will take part in ethical hacking and secure coding programs offered by the EC Council, an organization that provides certification for information security professionals.
“Academic institutes cannot afford to lay back and wait for the government to do something. Instead, they need to be proactive and take measures to help the nation to produce cyber warriors,” said Rahim Kherani, chairman of IANT.
“To help bridge this gap of need and availability of skilled professionals, IANT is offering EC-Council’s certifications to its students to ensure that the graduates are significantly advanced in cyber security skills to meet the challenges of IT industry,” he added.
