OPSWAT Academy, a global leader in cybersecurity education with a focus on Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP), is proud to announce its newest academic partnership with Universitas Bangka Belitung (UBB) in Indonesia. This marks a pivotal expansion of OPSWAT Academy’s presence in Asia, building on its global education initiative, which has previously established academic collaborations primarily across Europe and Africa.
The partnership is part of the OPSWAT Academy Scholarship Program, a global initiative designed to provide students with complimentary access to premium training and internationally recognized certifications in CIP cybersecurity. Through this collaboration, UBB students, particularly those in Electronics Engineering and Information Technology, will gain direct exposure to global-standard training that enhances both their technical skills and professional readiness.
UBB fully supports this initiative as it aligns with our vision to become a leading research university with excellence in morality, intellect, and technical capacity. We welcome this opportunity as a major step forward for our students to gain internationally recognized, job-ready certifications.
