Google Cloud partners with CERT-In to train govt officials in cybersecurity

Google Cloud is partnering with CERT-In within the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), in the area of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity. This collaboration marks a significant step towards advancing the cybersecurity skills of learners and government officials.

The partnership between CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) and Google Cloud will significantly ramp up cybersecurity training and skilling through various initiatives. This includes training a ‘cyber force’ of 1,000 government officials in cyber defence best practices. The initiatives also involve using generative AI and conducting cybersecurity AI hackathons led by front-line experts from Google Cloud and Mandiant.
