Swiss Cyber Institute becomes a new sector member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)

With the annual Global Cyber Conference in Zurich with the Swiss CISO Awards and the numerous courses offered by the Swiss Cyber Institute for professionals and companies in the field of cybersecurity, the Institute is also an interesting and valuable partner for the ITU.

Samir Aliyev, founder and CEO of Swiss Cyber Institute (SCI) founded the Swiss Cyber Institute in Zurich in 2019 and today it is a cybersecurity education provider registered by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation SERI. The aim is to create an open community in which knowledge and innovation in the field of cybersecurity are not only promoted but also proactively driven forward. The partnership with ITU significantly expands the institute's network and further contributes to raising awareness of the importance of cybersecurity.

For example, the Swiss Cyber Institute is dedicated to promoting personalized learning experiences with the goal of training 10,000 individuals by 2027 by offering SETA programs for security education, training and awareness. The Swiss Cyber Institute has also expanded its professional certification training by becoming the preferred global partner of leading cybersecurity certification organizations such as ISC2 and ISACA. By effectively building the capacity of cyber specialists in Switzerland and internationally, the Institute contributes to a more secure world.

With the Swiss Cyber Institute's two-day Global Cyber Conference in November 2024 with the Swiss CISO Awards and pre-conference networking events throughout the year, the focus will be on key topics such as cloud security, cyber security, its impact on companies and the associated corporate strategies. The Global Cyber Conference is a platform where cyber security experts from all over the world can exchange ideas and network.

"By partnering with ITU, we want to underline our commitment to improving global cyber resilience through cybersecurity education and training as well as professional support for the cybersecurity industry. We are proud that we are now a Sector Member of ITU. We also want to offer ITU added value for its members by providing them with a competent partner in the comprehensive field of cybersecurity and enabling their members to benefit from our course offerings, the Global Cyber Conference and our broad network," says Samir Aliyev, founder and CEO of Swiss Cyber Institute.

"I am delighted to welcome the Swiss Cyber Institute as a new ITU-D Private Sector Member. The Institute's deep expertise in cybersecurity skills development and empowerment is perfectly aligned with our mission to drive meaningful connectivity and sustainable digital transformation through positive impact and change globally," said Cosmas Luckyson Zavazava, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau.

The ITU is a hub for technology and innovation. It has 193 member states and over 1,000 companies, universities, research institutes and international and regional organizations. It enables international connectivity in communication networks. To spread access to technology around the world, the ITU works to provide digital connectivity for all and offers a trusted, multilateral platform to negotiate international agreements and standards, share knowledge, build capacity and collaborate with members and partners such as the Swiss Cyber Institute.
