Doha, Qatar - The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) has launched a new training program aimed at developing a skilled cybersecurity workforce in Qatar. The 12th cohort of the "Fresh Graduates Training Camp" will provide recent graduates with essential technical and professional skills required for careers in cybersecurity. The programme combines theoretical learning with hands-on practical training, enabling participants to apply their knowledge in authentic cybersecurity environments.
The initiative includes internationally recognised certification courses, simulations, and exercises that expose participants to real-world challenges faced by cybersecurity professionals. This training is expected to help graduates build expertise in identifying, preventing, and responding to cyber threats.
In addition to the graduate-focused initiative, the NCSA also launched the first cohort of its "Cybersecurity Managers Program" targeting department managers responsible for overseeing cybersecurity-related functions within their organizations. This broader strategy focuses on cybersecurity governance, risk oversight, and secure management of organisational data.
The programme aims to equip managers with strategic frameworks and practical skills to effectively address cybersecurity responsibilities within their departments.
By combining technical training, professional development, governance education, and practical exercises, the NCSA's initiatives highlight the importance of developing cybersecurity capabilities across multiple levels of the workforce. As digital services and data-driven operations expand, these efforts aim to strengthen national cybersecurity expertise, enhance organisational resilience, and support a more mature cybersecurity ecosystem in Qatar.
