A42 and Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics (NURE) has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation. As part of the partnership, A42 will provide its training materials to NURE students. The cooperation also covers joint scientific research and the training of a new generation of AI-powered cybersecurity specialists.
A42 and Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation between innovative cybersecurity company A42 and one of Ukraine's leading universities in cybersecurity. Starting in September 2026, students in the Cybersecurity program (specialty code 125) will begin studying with hands-on training materials developed by the A42 team, while university faculty and researchers take part in joint AI cybersecurity research projects.
The partnership is built on a simple belief that modern cybersecurity education should be grounded not only in theory, but in real technologies, researches and the practice shaped by the market.
"For A42, this is more than a memorandum. It's an investment in a new generation of Ukrainian cybersecurity specialists. We want students to work with the technologies that are already defining the global industry, rather than catching up with them after graduation," said Serhii Saraichykov, Co-Founder and CTO at A42.
The first step of the partnership begins with the new academic year. Bachelor's and master's students of specialty 125 "Cybersecurity" will learn from the A42 team's materials and real-world cases across three areas:
- AI Pentesting — using artificial intelligence to automate security testing.
- AI Cybersecurity — applying AI to detect threats, analyze vulnerabilities, and support defensive processes.
- AI Agents for Cybersecurity — building intelligent agents that automate the work of cybersecurity professionals.
Education is only the first step. Together with NURE's faculty and researchers, A42 is launching joint scientific research in AI Cybersecurity: new approaches to protecting digital systems, the development of autonomous AI agents, and the adoption of intelligent automation in cyber defense. Ahead lie shared educational programs, research projects, and international collaboration.
A42 is thankful to the NURE team, and in particular to the V. V. Popovsky Department of Infocommunication Engineering, for their trust and partnership. The future of cybersecurity is AI-powered, and A42 and NURE are building it together.
