What do the developers think of the program?
We combined efforts and developed a modern educational program that balances theoretical knowledge and practical experience of experienced tech experts. Thanks to the cooperation between SoftServe and the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, we have improved the program and taken into account the experience and feedback from other universities where the program is already in use. What makes this program special is that, in addition to cybersecurity tools, international standards, and ethical hacking, the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv introduced courses on secure programming for the first time. Already from the first course, students defend their projects at Softserve’s office with the jury composed of experienced tech experts in programming and cybersecurity.
