The Indo-Dutch Cyber Security School is an annual, large-scale event organised by a number of Dutch and Indian organisations for young professionals interested in cyber security issues. The central goal of this school is to give interested students and young professionals the opportunity to grow professionally as well as academically in the sphere of cybersecurity. The IDCSS also offers a benefit of 60 CPE points for the working professional. For more information, visit the official CCoE website here!
