On March 27, 2023, the Academy of State Service (ASS) under the President of Turkmenistan in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) “Governance Support Program” has started one-monthly training course on cybersecurity for informational technology specialists of the public sector of Turkmenistan.
The training course provides an opportunity for Turkmen specialists to get acquainted with international digital network security rules, measures to counter cyber-attacks, create security profiles, use international networks for data protection, explore the possibilities of cloud technologies, as well as other aspects of digital security.
The transition to a digital economy is a priority for sustainable development of Turkmenistan. The Academy of State Service collaborates with USAID to bring excellent digital solutions to public administration. In particular, the Academy assists to meet the needs for qualified cybersecurity professionals to support and develop Turkmenistan's digital network.
Secure information technologies will have a positive impact on the digital infrastructure of Turkmenistan, facilitate on increasing the efficiency of state institutions in regulating socio-economic development, and create conditions for public support in the development and adoption of government decisions. That is why scientific and practical training of specialists in the administration and secure management of electronic networks is very important in Turkmenistan today.
