Chetan Jain, Founding Executive Director, and Managing Director, Inspira Enterprise:
“At Inspira, we proudly celebrate the incredible potential of our youth, particularly in the cybersecurity domain. The shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals is a significant challenge for organizations today. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, targeting businesses more than ever, organizations must develop programs that offer mentoring in cybersecurity for youth. These initiatives will also encourage them to pursue cybersecurity as a profession. As our society increasingly relies on technology, empowering our youth with cybersecurity skills is essential to safeguarding our digital world and ensuring a resilient digital future. Furthermore, integrating GenAI into youth cybersecurity training is pivotal for preparing the next generation of cyber defenders.”
