Course Created to Train “Good Hackers.” A Total of 30 Thousand Slots Aiming to Train Those Enrolled in the Initiative.
In recent years, the internet has become increasingly dangerous due to hackers, who are often malicious and attempt to steal sensitive data from internet users, such as banking information.
With the aim of training individuals who do the opposite work, registrations have been launched for a course aimed at training “good hackers”. This is because Brazil currently faces a shortage of more than 330,000 professionals in the cybersecurity field.
According to the National Teaching and Research Network (RNP), a social organization linked to the Ministry of Science and Technology and responsible for the online and free course “Good Hackers”, the initiative will last for one year.
