Second session of Positive Hack Camp 2025, an international cybersecurity training program, concludes

At the closing ceremony, Positive Technologies signed a cooperation agreement with one of Indonesia's largest universities

In Moscow, Positive Technologies and Positive Education recently concluded Positive Hack Camp, a global education program for the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. More than 90 emerging professionals from 25 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East received valuable, hands on ethical hacking training from leading experts. The event was held with the support of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media.

On the final day of Positive Hack Camp, Positive Technologies signed a cooperation agreement with Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Nusa Tenggara Barat, one of Indonesia's oldest and largest universities. The university was represented at the signing ceremony by Rector Dr. Baiq Mulianah. The parties aim to develop joint educational programs to train highly qualified cybersecurity specialists.

"Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue. It is a shared challenge that requires better cooperation and smarter use of AI. Hands-on training must be embedded into the curriculum, which includes digital ethics, cyber law and privacy protection. This integration ensures that students not only become skilled defenders, but also become responsible digital citizens. That is why this program organized by Positive Technologies is very important, not only now, but for the future."

The two week Positive Hack Camp curriculum covered today's most important cybersecurity topics: from network infrastructure scanning and social engineering techniques to web application testing and professional ethics. Beyond the intensive learning sessions, participants also experienced the vibrant culture of Russia, exploring Moscow's famous landmarks and discovering the country's rich historical heritage.

"Cybersecurity is a global challenge that, of course, requires our collaborative efforts. This event can provide our young professionals with the collective capacity to address these common challenges. I am proud that Indonesian professionals are here with us. They are technologically savvy. As our world becomes more digitalized, our countries must develop the collective capacity to prevent cyberattacks and make our digital environment safer for everyone."
