La Salle-URL students specialized in cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking meet with leading companies in the sector

Engineering students introduce themselves to companies looking for talent

On Friday, May 25th, 18 students from the "It Security" course will meet individually with 10 companies from the sector to present their knowledge. A2Secure, Accenture, E & Y (Ernst & Young), GMV, IMPALA, ISEC Auditors, Necsia, NEXICA, Open3S and BlackData S.L. have confirmed their attendance.

Throughout the course, students have received practical training in ICT cybersecurity focused on "ethical hacking". While testing ("Security Testing") to the level of trying to penetrate with administrator permissions ("Penetration testing"), they learned in a 100% practical environment using the same techniques used by hackers and cybersecurity experts to detect the vulnerability of systems and thus be able to apply the necessary security measures.

During the presentations, each student will personally explain for 10 minutes the techniques applied and the results obtained. In this way, companies will be able to know the different profiles of students and identify talent to incorporate new engineers or interns into the company.
