BISITE Group collaborates in the training of state security forces
The BISITE Research Group of the University of Salamanca has been part of the effort and dedication made by each of these institutions to stay trained and promote projects in this area. Such is the case of the C1b3rWall Academy program, a training in which hundreds of thousands of users have participated throughout the 21/22 edition and the current edition, which aims to raise awareness about cybersecurity in different areas.
BISITE also collaborates with the European Cybercrime Training and Education Group (ECTEG) of Europol in ECTEG Global Cybercrime Certification (GCC), a project that will develop a certification in the field of cybercrime specifically for the State Security Forces and Corps. Recently, the Cyberintelligence Course and Cybersecurity Course have been launched, in collaboration with the National Police, both initiatives aim to contribute to the academic training of agents and actors involved in public security functions.
Congratulations to the award winners. Once again, we thank the University of Salamanca for publiclyn honoring the excellent work carried out by the security forces.
