The Saudi Federation for Cyber Security and Programming has partnered with Booz Allen Hamilton to implement an educational program to help address a demand for cybersecurity talent.
Booz Allen said Friday it will establish a cyber skills competition for students and professionals to support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and National Cyber Strategy.
The company plans to base the program on its Kaizen “Capture the Flag†contest, an interactive event meant to hone participants’ skills in information security areas such as forensics and web.
“We are excited to partner with SAFCSP to expand our commitments for the development of cybersecurity capabilities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,†Christopher Ling, an executive vice president and international business leader at Booz Allen.
