Prepared Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics named after A.N. Tikhonov (MIEM) HSE University continuing professional education program “Corporate information security” will enable students to acquire skills in searching for vulnerabilities in digital products and eliminating potential gaps in the security systems of electronic networks of corporations, universities and their own pages in open sources using specific examples and with the support of leading cybersecurity experts. Students will learn how to work with digital assets, resist the psychological tricks of fraudsters and pass on the acquired knowledge and skills to colleagues.
MIEM HSE presented the additional education program “Corporate information security“, prepared jointly with leading experts in the field of cybersecurity.
The head and author of the program idea, MIEM Director’s Advisor Elena Kabaeva, noted that now attention to the digital “I” is no less important than to the real one: “We actually have a full-fledged digital citizenship, the safe functioning of which determines our professional and life success.” Training in the program is designed to prevent corporate and personal losses in the digital space. “This is the first and so far the only training program in Russia aimed at developing practical skills to counter cyber threats. It is focused on the corporate sector, confident and active users of digital systems and equipment, as well as owners of digital assets,” said the MIEM Director’s Advisor.
The theoretical component of the program includes master classes from experts, including the company InfoWatch — a leader in countering threats in the digital space.
The program consists of three consecutive modules. The first module, “Digital Security,” involves mastering tools for identifying vulnerabilities in digital products and accounts. The developers of the practical content, Amir Atigaev, a methodologist at the Novosibirsk Institute of Modern Education, and Yulia Glukhikh, a curator of digital projects in the field of education, noted that the content has an increasing level of complexity — from analyzing one’s own digital footprint and creating secure authentication tools to creating a secure digital user environment. The program works through real cases of corporations and government agencies, as well as cases of specific users. “We will conduct several business games and offer digital simulators that will give listeners a sufficient arsenal of skills in the field of digital hygiene,” Amir Atigaev concluded.
The second module, “Digital Projects and Psychological Safety,” immerses students in intensive work in various digital environments, reveals the possibilities of safe project implementation, and concludes with a topic dedicated to critical thinking. The developers of the second module, led by Associate Professor of the Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University named after N.A. Dobrolyubov and HSE University in Nizhny Novgorod Natalia Frolova emphasizes that students will become familiar with programming and acquire skills in identifying genuine and fake sites, and develop critical thinking skills. “We will teach you how to organize a digital detox and not drown in a sea of information,” noted Natalia Frolova. One of the aspects of this module is dedicated to the free online master class “Critical Thinking in a Digital World» October 9.
The third module, “Legal Aspects,” expands on the understanding of digital assets, protected and open content, virtual property, and allows students to take into account important legal subtleties when designing their own digital projects.
The program also includes a cross-cutting module that involves participants designing a secure digital project and profile. “We encourage it if a participant leads a specific project. The program will allow us to analyze it for vulnerabilities and prevent cyber risks. Listeners, interacting with the program’s experts, receive invaluable feedback, which enhances the positive effect of the program,” said Elena Kabaeva.
It is expected that the audience will include cybersecurity specialists, HR and corporate university staff, teachers of higher and secondary specialized education, heads of functional departments, including those supervising digitalization, corporate lawyers, as well as students and postgraduates who will be able to use this course to expand their educational opportunities within the framework of the main educational programs.
The Corporate Information Security program can also be implemented in a corporate format for groups of 20 people or more.
The program, which will last 104 academic hours (including 72 contact – interactive hours), is expected to be completed over 9 weeks, starting on October 21, 2024. Classes will be held online, primarily in the evenings, twice a week. The cost of training is 42,000 rubles.
Those who complete the program will receive a certificate of advanced training in the established format.
“We hope that the program will develop sustainable skills in the students and that they will not return to the usual behavioral models in relation to digital assets, environments and projects and will pay due attention to the external and internal digital contour. This is essentially a program for the safe professional management of our second digital citizenship. We invite you!” – Elena Kabaeva summed up.
