E-Learning Courses on Cybersecurity

Under the project “Partnership for Strengthening Cybersecuritya variety of e-learning courses have been developed on different aspects of cybersecurity to pursue the projects' goal of improving cooperation between partner countries and regional organizations with Germany to protect the global cyberspace. Part of this project is the initiative “Her CyberTrackswhich is directed at female professionals who work in and with cybersecurity. The courses available on this page are mostly derived from the initiative, however, they can also be used as individual classes. They have been created jointly with different partners such as the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI). Although Her CyberTracks is only directed at women, the courses are gender agnostic and can be done by all genders. All courses are available in English and most in French. Spanish and Ukrainian versions are in progress at the moment.

Her CyberTracks is funded by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany (FFO) and the European Union and is jointly implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Global Programme on Cybercrime of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
