In a major push to strengthen Pakistan’s cybersecurity talent pipeline, InnoVista has announced the launch of its fully funded InnoQuest Cybersecurity Bootcamp, a comprehensive four-month training initiative designed to equip participants with essential skills for navigating the evolving cyber landscape. The bootcamp is being rolled out in collaboration with leading national and international cybersecurity stakeholders, including PKCERT Pakistan, ISACA Karachi Chapter, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), and Pakistan Freelancers Association (PAFLA). This initiative underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing cybersecurity education in the country.
The program is tailored for individuals aiming to develop technical capabilities in areas such as foundational cybersecurity principles, network security, ethical hacking, red and blue teaming, and Security Operations Center (SOC) operations. It features a unique format that blends expert-led sessions with hands-on lab work, real-world simulations, and a final capstone project to solidify practical learning. Participants will also gain preparation for internationally recognized certifications including CISA and CISM by ISACA, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, and an ethical hacking course, making them job-ready and competitive in the global market.
Taking place at InnoVista Rawal in DHA Phase 1, Rawalpindi, the bootcamp is structured to accommodate professionals and students by offering evening sessions of three hours twice a week. The program begins on June 25, 2025, with the application deadline set for June 15, 2025. Emphasizing accessibility, InnoVista has ensured that the entire bootcamp will be offered at no cost to the participants, removing financial barriers and allowing a wider pool of applicants to benefit from high-quality cybersecurity training.
What sets this initiative apart is not only the curriculum’s depth and the industry partnerships backing it but also the direct post-training internship and job placement opportunities that will be extended to successful participants. This focus on career progression after skill acquisition is expected to further motivate aspiring cybersecurity professionals and freelancers to apply and take full advantage of the training opportunity.
With Pakistan experiencing a growing demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals and organizations increasingly concerned about cyber threats, initiatives like InnoQuest serve as a timely response to the country’s cybersecurity capacity-building needs. The involvement of respected institutions such as NUST and ISACA lends credibility to the program, while the support from PKCERT and PAFLA bridges the gap between policy, academia, and the freelance community.
Interested individuals are encouraged to apply before the June 15 deadline through the application link provided in the official announcement. Given the program’s intensive design, industry recognition, and limited seat availability, early applications are highly recommended.
