Cisco NetAcad Talent Connect Event 22

From challenging internships to rewarding jobs

On 27 October 2022, BiASC and Cisco organised a Talent Connect Event (TCE) for college students in IT infrastructure, networking, and security. The goal is to informally connect students with channel partners offering internships and jobs. Most of the students attending are bachelor's degree students. An equal number are pursuing associate degrees in systems and network administration. There were also a number of master's students and adult education students.

Interesting and challenging internships in IT infrastructure, networks and security are hard to come by for IT students in their last year before graduation. Yet all IT students are able to sign an employment contract for a rewarding job before they graduate.

Wouldn't it be a great idea to create a natural flow from internship to employment? This is the main goal of the Talent Connect event organised by Cisco BeLux, Cisco CXC and Cisco Networking Academy at Cisco headquarters in Machelen/Diegem near Brussels.

About 90 students registered for the Talent Connect event. Most of the participants are interested in an internship before the end of their studies. Fifteen participants are specifically interested in a thesis project.

Student Internship - Security project
The importance of CSPM Solutions to Protect Public Cloud Services

Context

CSPM is a market segment for IT security tools that are designed to identify misconfiguration issues and compliance risks in the cloud. An important purpose of CSPM programming is to continuously monitor cloud infrastructure for gaps in security policy enforcement.

Cloud computing and cloud storage are the new core elements of a company. They are utilized and optimized to keep their data secure and protected. This not only devoids the need for the company's urgency to have data backed up in hard drives but also caters to prolonging the data life by restricting the loss of data. Hence, Cloud Security Posture Management tools have an important role to play.
