Mapúa University, the Philippines’ premier engineering and technological school, has partnered with EC-Council to deliver industry-leading cybersecurity training and certifications aimed at helping supply the country’s requirement of cybersecurity experts. Now an authorized EC-Council Academia Partner, Mapúa will be offering high-quality, authorized EC-Council Cybersecurity-related academic courses to train Mapúa students for the ever-evolving global standards on cybersecurity.
Aside from preparing future and current IT professionals to become globally competitive, the move also aims to generate a troop of highly competent Filipino cybersecurity professionals who can help the country avert and recover from the influx of cyberattacks that have since escalated during the pandemic.
EC-Council is a world-renowned leading certification body in cybersecurity technical certifications.
