Online/Offline Company Visit Program
Since 2019, AhnLab has operated a company visit program for elementary, middle, high school, and university students interested in cybersecurity, as well as a wide range of other visitors. Originally offered only as an on-site program, the program was expanded in 2020 to include online company visits to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. As a result, anyone with access to a PC, laptop, or smartphone can participate regardless of location.
The program includes career exploration sessions in IT, software, and cybersecurity, as well as essential cybersecurity awareness training and a tour of AhnLab's office building.
