The Importance of the Camp for College Students
The camp aims at qualifying the college students in the Computer Science and Information Technology Departments, expected to graduate this year, to obtain the Certified Ethical Hackers (CEH) and the Certified Hacking Forensics Investigator (CHFI) which are among the most important professional certificates in Information Security.

The camp focuses on enriching the practical aspect with a large number of applications, tools and practical exercises. The camp helps the participating students through intensive practical training and professional testing, in order to qualify them to suit the requirements of the local and international labor market.
