00:00It was six years ago I joined Codecademy and in the same year they started the IT infrastructure training.
00:07I believed in the talent of the team and I believed that we can achieve good success with them and we did it.
00:18Codecademy has a robust curriculum that offers a variety of the trainings including IT, programming, digital marketing, design and cyber security.
00:27Almost 10,000 young individuals joined Codecademy and we empowered them with IT skills.
00:35As a manager of the cyber security program in Codecademy I have many responsibilities.
00:40I not only see the overseas strategic plans for the cyber security, I'm also part of designing the curriculum and designing the educational prospects.
00:49Digital literacy is not just a skill, it's a cornerstone in the digital age.
00:55It's not only being successful in the IT or digital fields.
00:59Also it will help everybody to use the technological tools to understand the difference between the reality and the fiction.
01:08The internet and computer is almost limitless and everybody can use those information and mislead people.
01:15There are a lot of fake information and misinformation in the internet.
01:20We can understand which information is real and which is fiction.
01:24Only using the tools or using the knowledge of the digital literacy we can separate them from each other.
01:31The weakest link in the cyber security is human.
01:35Most of the attacks are not successful because they had a great attack or the organization didn't protect themselves.
01:42They must achieve their purpose because of the human mistake.
01:46Few years ago there was one of the biggest attack of the year and the cyber attackers achieved their purpose
01:53because one of the employees of the organization gave his computer to his grandchildren to play some game.
02:00It costed more than 2 billion dollars to the organization.
02:04Cyber security includes various different fields of IT.
02:09Mostly I teach network, network security and penetration testing in my classes.
02:15Teaching is a passion. I think it was my childhood dream to be a teacher.
02:20Students, I think they are kind of projects for me and when they call me or inform me how they are getting better jobs
02:28it makes me proud and I think that it was a successful project.
02:32We are living in an information era and information technology and cyber security are one of the crucial points in this era.
02:40Industry 4.0 is started.
02:44We are educating young Azerbaijani talents to be part of this process
02:49and I believe our students will take the responsibility and lead Azerbaijan to the better future.
