In cyber security, people are the first line of defense. Due to a continuing shortage of specialized knowledge, organizations must strongly engage in staff training programs. SBA Research offers a wide range of ways to transfer knowledge, ranging from freely available talks and podcasts to specialized on-site trainings. All of this is part of the SBA Academy program.
As a research center for information security, it is part of our DNA to strengthen the security community through publicly available knowledge transfer initiatives.
