🎓 Have you ever dreamed of delving into the realm of threat actor activities, gaining real-life incident management experience, and assisting companies while you're still a student? We are excited to offer this opportunity by launching a joint Threat Intelligence and Defence Centre (TIDC) with Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP)!

Housed at @ngeeannpoly, the first-ever TIDC in Singapore powered by Group-IB’s industry-leading cybersecurity solutions will prepare the students of the School of InfoComm Technology (ICT) to fight and proactively manage cyber threats.

NP is the only institute of higher learning in Singapore to receive Group-IB’s royalty-free academic license valued at $360,000.

Over the next 3 years, more than 200 students in NP’s Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics (CSF) course will be trained in intelligence collection and analysis, incident response, threat hunting, vulnerability assessment, and security monitoring.

Under the partnership, the TIDC will also help start-up partners at AGILE and Pollinate – NP’s on-campus and off-campus incubators – enhance their cyber resilience. The TIDC will be managed by final-year CSF students, who will take on the role of the start-ups’ security analysts.
