The Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST) commenced its three-day Intensive Ethical Hacking and Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) Training for personnel of the Management Information System (MIS) today, November 12, 2026.

The training, led by Dr. Marlon Tayag, Dean of the School of Computing of Holy Angel University, aims to strengthen the cybersecurity knowledge and technical capabilities of university personnel in identifying, assessing, and addressing potential security vulnerabilities in information systems and network infrastructure.

Through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on laboratory activities, participants gain practical knowledge of ethical hacking, network scanning, vulnerability identification, and security assessment to help strengthen the university’s data protection and cybersecurity measures.

According to Ms. Kathleen Anne Esbieto, MIS Assistant Director, the training will equip IT personnel with enhanced technical skills and knowledge to identify, assess, and address potential cybersecurity threats.

“Through this training, our IT personnel can further strengthen their skills in identifying and addressing possible security vulnerabilities in the university’s systems. This will help us better protect institutional data, prevent potential cyber threats, and ensure that our digital systems remain safe and reliable,” she said.

The training runs until November 14, 2026.
