In a volatile online time, BlackBerry Ltd. announced a new collaboration with Talent Corp Malaysia to release the CyberNext Program, a nationwide initiative designed to train Indonesian educators and students with important cybersecurity skills. Beginning in July, BlackBerry and TalentCorp will offer free cybersecurity training to 1, 000 students and 250 lecturers at the world-class facility as the Malaysia Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCoE ) celebrates its first year with a special open day event on Thurs, 8 May. With support from CCoE training partners ISC2 and CompTIA, the facility will have a special open day event for the company.
In line with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s new emphasis on fostering native cybersecurity talent and digital sovereignty as a major national priority, the CyberNext Program is intended to support the Malaysian Government’s continued efforts to upskill native talent and strengthen nationwide cyber resilience.
” We are proud to work with TalentCorp to help Malaysia’s second generation of computer defenders be better equipped for today’s risks,” said Jaclyn Sim, BlackBerry’s Education Administrator at the CCoE. The CyberNext program is one of several programs designed to make workers at various levels for a range of roles, supporting Malaysia in its efforts to develop regional security skill, boost capacity, and became a recognized leader in the region as the CCoE marks one year of operation.
CyberNext supplements continued primary education by structured, hands-on teaching experience — from beginner to intermediate rates — that focus on practical skills, role-based education, and professional certification at a global standard. It is offered in two six-month phases over a year.
According to Badrie Abdullah, Talent Principal at TalentCorp,” Our collaboration with BlackBerry reflects TalentCorp’s mandate to address critical skills gaps and future-proof Malaysia’s workforce.” According to TalentCorp’s Critical Occupations List, “professionals with cybersecurity skills are consistently in high demand, but the local supply remains constrained. Through the CyberNext Programme, we are integrating world-class training into the national talent pipeline, providing future-relevant skills for both students and educators.
The BlackBerry CyberNext Program, created in collaboration with TalentCorp, aims to:
- By using structured learning pathways from the foundational to the intermediate levels, bridge the cybersecurity skills gap.
- Give students hands-on cybersecurity training, practical experience, and opportunities for certification that are recognized worldwide.
- Improve career paths by educating students with essential practical skills for the cybersecurity industry.
- Boost lecturers ‘ skills by providing customized training that reflects the most recent trends and technologies in cybersecurity.
- By fostering stronger university-industry collaboration and fostering job-ready professionals, Malaysia’s cybersecurity ecosystem will prosper.
To celebrate the first anniversary of the Malaysia CCoE, an “open day” with a variety of activities has been planned. Visiting the facility and learning more about the wide range of programs and opportunities in cyber are invited to students, educators, government and industry professionals, panelists, live competitions and innovative demos ( including how mobile phone communications can be compromised ), as well as exhibition booths and games.
The BlackBerry CCoE, which was established in Malaysia, is a hub for skills development, ecosystem development, and cybersecurity education. The curriculum includes industry certifications, role-based and practical training, professional coaching and mentoring, as well as a community for learners and professionals to share knowledge.  ,
