Ivan Blagoev has introduced the expertise of ThinkCyber to Bulgaria

The old military adage says that if you are prepared, the war is half won. This is also the mission of Ivan Blagoev – to train qualified teams that will take leading positions in cybersecurity across Europe through the specialised programme of ThinkCyber Bulgaria. Ivan Blagoev is a Microsoft-certified software developer and has specialised in cybersecurity in Israel. He has participated in numerous cybersecurity projects of national importance and is a member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

What are the most dangerous hacker attacks today?

Today, hacking attacks target entire countries, governments, companies and ordinary people. The most dangerous ones are not only technically complex. They are strategically, politically and psychologically targeted, using social engineering, fake news, social media manipulation, and sometimes even inserting malicious code into hardware devices. Modern cyber-attacks are a form of invisible warfare with real consequences – data breaches, financial losses and infrastructure sabotage.

That is why training and hands-on preparation are more important than ever. The programmes at ThinkCyber Bulgaria, delivered through the Israeli Cyberium platform, are already training the new generation of cybersecurity experts in Bulgaria. Through realistic simulations and training in a secure environment, they prepare participants not only to react, but to anticipate attacks – a key skill in today's digital world. The best weapon against modern hackers is no longer walls, but knowledge, flexibility and the ability to act in real time.

How can you help us protect ourselves?

The market is flooded with products, systems, AI tools and promises of "one-click" protection. But people need to know how to use them and how to anticipate threats. At ThinkCyber Bulgaria we teach exactly that – from the basics of cybersecurity to the most specialised techniques. In our simulation environment, Cyberium Simulator, trainees face scenarios based on real incidents – from ransomware to attacks on IoT devices and power grids. Participants must detect, analyse and neutralise threats. Our training also covers digital forensics, security programming, SOC analysis, OSINT investigations and even cyber intelligence on the Darknet.

The best anti-virus today is a well-prepared team. That is why we offer flexible training modules tailored to the specific needs of each organisation – whether it is a bank, IT company, government agency or factory.

At ThinkCyber Bulgaria, we give you the tools, show you how to use them and build a mindset that will make you immune in an ever-changing environment.

Who are ThinkCyber Bulgaria's training programmes for?

The programmes at ThinkCyber are for ambitious individuals – future and current cyber security experts. We offer realistic simulations, hands-on training, a personalised approach and constant access to the latest threats and tools. The training is flexible and adapted to people who are studying, working or balancing both. Bulgaria has already proven itself to be a leader in the IT sector. It is time to do the same in cybersecurity.

Спечелете кибер войната с ThinkCyber Bulgaria

Иван Благоев за ролята на обучението за успешната киберзащита

Старото военно правило гласи, че когато си подготвен – войната е наполовина спечелена. Това е и мисията на Иван Благоев – да обучи квалифицирани екипи, които да заемат водещи позиции в киберсигурността в Европа чрез специализираната програма на ThinkCyber Bulgaria. Иван Благоев е сертифициран софтуерен разработчик от Microsoft и е специализирал киберсигурност в Израел. Участвал е в множество проекти по киберсигурност с национално значение и е член на БАН.

Как изглеждат най-опасните хакерски атаки днес?

Хакерските атаки днес засягат цели държави, правителства, компании и обикновени хора. Най-опасните от тях не са просто технически сложни. Те са стратегически, политически и психологически насочени и използват социално инженерство, фалшиви новини, манипулации в социалните мрежи, а понякога – въвеждат зловреден код в хардуерни устройства. Съвременните кибератаки са форма на невидима война с реални последствия – изтичане на данни, финансови загуби, саботажи върху инфраструктурата.

Затова обучението и практическата подготовка са по-важни отвсякога. Програмите на ThinkCyber Bulgaria се изпълняват от израелската Cyberium платформа и вече обучават новото поколение киберексперти в България. С реалистични симулации и обучения в сигурна среда, те подготвят участниците не просто да реагират, а да предвиждат атаките – ключово умение в съвременния дигитален свят. Най-доброто оръжие срещу модерните хакери вече не са стените, а знанието, гъвкавостта и умението да действаме в реално време.

Как можете да ни помогнете да се предпазим?

На пазара има безброй продукти, системи, AI инструменти и обещания за защита "с един клик". Но хората трябва да знаят как да работят с тях и как да предвиждат заплахите. В ThinkCyber Bulgaria ги обучаваме на точно това – от основите на киберсигурността до най-специализираните техники. В нашата симулационна среда Cyberium Simulator курсистите се сблъскват със сценарии, базирани на реални инциденти – от рансъмуер до атаки срещу IoT устройства и електрически мрежи. Участникът трябва да открива, анализира и неутрализира заплахите. Обучението ни обхваща и дигитална форензика, програмиране за сигурност, SOC анализ, OSINT разследвания и дори киберразузнаване в Darknet.

Най-добрият антивирус днес е добре подготвеният екип. Затова предлагаме гъвкави обучителни модули, адаптирани към нуждите на конкретната организация – банка, ИТ компания, държавна структура, завод.

В ThinkCyber Bulgaria ще ви дадем инструментите, ще ви покажем как да ги използвате и ще изградим у вас начин на мислене, който ще ви направи неуязвими в една среда, която никога не спира да се променя.

За кого са обучителните програми на ThinkCyber Bulgaria?

Програмите на ThinkCyber са за хора с амбиция – бъдещи и настоящи експерти в киберсигурността. Предлагаме реалистични симулации, обучение чрез практика, индивидуален подход и постоянен достъп до най-актуалните заплахи и инструменти. Обучението е гъвкаво и е адаптирано за хора, които учат или работят. България вече се доказа като лидер в ИТ сектора. Време е да го постигнем и в киберсигурността.
