The company has reached agreements with four educational institutions on joint projects, including courses on secure development, offensive security, and defensive security

Positive Technologies, a leader in result-driven cybersecurity, has signed a memorandum of understanding and cooperation with four leading Indonesian educational institutions: Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta, Universitas NU NTB, Business Center Alumni UI (KBA UI), and the Sakuranesia Foundation. The signing ceremony was part of the international cyberfestival Positive Hack Days. The collaboration will focus on improving the skills of cybersecurity professionals in Southeast Asia.

The parties agreed on joint educational projects, including the creation of training facilities for practical cybersecurity exercises, teacher training, and development of courses on offensive security, defensive security, and secure development practices. As part of the agreement, the EdTechLab cybersimulation platform will also be implemented at the universities to support practical cybersecurity training.

"Our company has built one of the best teams of cybersecurity professionals and accumulated unique expertise, which we are ready to share to strengthen the cyber resilience of organizations, industries, and entire countries," said Denis Baranov, CEO of Positive Technologies. "We partner with dozens of Russian and international universities, contributing to the global community of cybersecurity experts. The agreements with leading universities in Indonesia, one of the largest countries in the world, are an important step towards achieving this mission. Our collaboration will help Indonesian students and teachers gain valuable practical knowledge and skills in the field of cybersecurity."

According to a study by Positive Technologies, the majority of advertisements (28%) on dark web forums in Southeast Asia are related to Indonesia, and 62% of all successful cyberattacks on organizations in this country lead to data breaches. The analysis of dark web posts also revealed that the science and education sector is among the top five sectors affected by hacker attacks in the region. The experts note that in recent years, Indonesia has made significant progress in strengthening its digital infrastructure and expanding digital literacy programs for the population. However, the rapid adoption of digital technologies in Indonesia highlights the urgent need for stronger cybersecurity measures.

"As Indonesia continues its digital transformation, ensuring robust cybersecurity systems remains a key priority. Developing a skilled cybersecurity workforce is critical to achieving this goal. Positive Technologies, with its wealth of practical expertise, offers valuable support in addressing this national endeavor. We commend the company's commitment to excellence and welcome its continued growth as a trusted partner in cybersecurity—both within Indonesia and throughout the region," said Prof. Yudi Darma, Director of Dissemination and Utilization of Science and Technology, Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology, Republic of Indonesia.

In August 2024, Positive Technologies, supported by the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, launched Positive Hack Camp—a free international training program focused on practical cybersecurity for professionals. The first session brought together around 70 students from 20 countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and UAE.
