Group-IB, a leading creator of cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, announced today that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mahidol University—one of Thailand’s leading academic institutions specializing in IT management—to establish a Cybersecurity Center of Excellence on campus, which will serve as the nation’s premier hub for world-class cyber defense education, research, and capacity-building, supporting both students and industry professionals in developing critical cybersecurity skills.
As part of the partnership, Mahidol University will integrate Group-IB’s advanced cybersecurity solutions into its curriculum, equipping undergraduates with hands-on experience using industry-leading technologies such as Group-IB Managed XDR for proactive threat detection and response, Business Email Protection to safeguard enterprise communications, Threat Intelligence for real-time threat detection and analysis, and Attack Surface Management to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities. Group-IB will also provide a collaborative training program, offering expert-led courses and learning materials to further strengthen Thailand’s cybersecurity workforce.
The official launch of the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence was marked by a special ceremony attended by Mr. Ekkaporn Rakkwamsuk, Vice Minister of Finance of the Ministry of Finance, as well as representatives from the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA).
“The cyber threats landscape is evolving rapidly, and organizations need skilled professionals to defend against them. Through this collaboration with Mahidol University, we aim to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap in Thailand by equipping students and professionals with the latest threat intelligence and security solutions,” said Anastasiya Barinova, Head of Education Practice at Group-IB. “We believe that the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence at Mahidol University will play a key role in fostering a highly skilled workforce, ready to tackle the challenges of the modern cyber threat landscape.”
“We are very pleased with this agreement as it is a natural and strong symbiosis between the academic platform represented by Mahidol University and the expertise and cutting-edge technology base represented by Group-IB. Both parties have extensive knowledge of the local threat landscape in Thailand, which will enable the most ground-breaking projects in cyber education of the future,” said Assoc.
