Ucom and the Microsoft Innovation Center Collaborate on Cybersecurity Education

With the support of Ucom, the Microsoft Innovation Center Armenia (MIC) announces the launch of the “Cybersecurity Educational Program for Teenagers,” aimed at developing knowledge and practical skills in digital security.

As part of the program, free training courses titled “Cybersecurity Fundamentals” will be organized for school students aged 14–17. Participants will explore the core principles of cybersecurity, learn how to navigate the digital environment safely, and gain practical knowledge and skills to better understand and protect themselves from modern digital threats.

“Security in the digital world has become not only a technical issue but also an educational priority. At Ucom, we believe it is important to support initiatives that help young people acquire modern knowledge and use technology safely and responsibly. We are confident that this program will equip teenagers with valuable skills that will benefit them both in their everyday lives and future professional careers,” said Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Ucom.

During the course, special attention will also be given to current digital risks, including threats related to artificial intelligence, deepfake technologies, and various forms of online manipulation.

“For us, it is important that teenagers not only use technology but also understand how to navigate the digital environment safely and develop an interest in the field of cybersecurity. We believe that initiatives like this contribute not only to knowledge sharing, but also to fostering a responsible digital culture in Armenia,” said Mari Barseghyan, Director of Microsoft Innovation Center Armenia.

At the end of the course, a Mini-CTF (Capture the Flag) competition will be organized, giving participants the opportunity to work in teams on real-life scenario-based tasks while developing not only their technical knowledge, but also their teamwork, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

As a result, 60–70 teenagers will acquire fundamental cybersecurity knowledge and practical skills to secure their personal devices and navigate digital environments more safely and confidently. The initiative will also lay the foundation for participants to continue their education in this field and explore future professional opportunities in cybersecurity.

More information about the program, participation requirements, and the registration process is available on the official website of the MIC Armenia: https://tr.ee/1cVIxo

The collaboration between Ucom and MIC Armenia brings together technology, education, and cybersecurity to contribute to the development of a more informed, digitally secure, and technologically responsible younger generation in Armenia.
