'We aim to increase interest in cyber security'

Stating that the cooperation will bring together theory and practice, Ölçsan Teknoloji Chairman of the Board Burak Sondal said, “Industry and academic collaborations in the field of technology are of great importance. We are currently carrying out a similar project with 11 universities. Unlike a normal internship, students start their internship at the beginning of their first year in this project. They gain industry experience until they graduate. When we look at the graduation projects of the students, subjects such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, image processing are the leading ones at a rate of 80-90%, unfortunately, the subject of cyber security is not preferred much. I hope that with this protocol, we will increase awareness of cyber security.” said.
