Strong cybersecurity talents and skills are not built overnight. It is a long and challenging process that involves practice, mentorship, and real-world challenges.
Our work at CyberEDU was always intended to make this process smoother for those looking to enter the world of infosec. That’s exactly why CyberEDU proudly supports UNbreakable Romania 2026, one of the largest cybersecurity education initiatives in Romania.
By contributing to this national program, CyberEDU continues its mission to empower students, professionals, and organizations with practical cybersecurity skills that matter in the real world.
What is UNbreakable Romania?
UNbreakable Romania is a nationwide cybersecurity training program designed to introduce students and young professionals to the world of ethical hacking and cyber defense.
The initiative is organized by Bit Sentinel and Orange Romania, in collaboration with leading universities and high schools across all counties in Romania and with the support of the National Directorate for Cyber Security (DNSC). In other words, partners from the academic field, private businesses and institutions representing the public sector come together to collaborate and contribute to building a strong cybersecurity education ecosystem and preparing the next generation of cyber professionals.
Participants learn through Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, infosec labs and educational resources on our platform, fundamental cybersecurity subjects, such as:
- Web security
- Cryptography
- Reverse engineering
- Digital forensics
- Binary exploitation
UNbreakable Romania has already trained over 6,500 young participants across the country, helping them develop practical cybersecurity skills and discover career paths in this fast growing, fast evolving industry.
The impact UNbreakable Romania has had over the years is the undeniable proof of how important a program like this is when it comes to strengthening the national cybersecurity ecosystem and preparing the next generation of security professionals.
CyberEDU’s role in UNbreakable Romania 2026
At CyberEDU, our mission is simple:
Make cybersecurity education practical, accessible, and industry-relevant.
Through our involvement in UNbreakable Romania 2026, CyberEDU contributes to this mission by supporting the community with:
1. Hands-on cybersecurity education, aligned with today’s industry needs
CyberEDU brings its expertise in practical cybersecurity training to help participants understand how real cyber attacks work – and how to defend against them.
Our approach focuses on:
- real-world scenarios
- hands-on labs
- modern offensive and defensive techniques
This ensures that participants don’t just learn theory – they gain skills they can actually apply in real environments.
And everything is aligned with how cybersecurity is evolving today, including the growing role of AI in both learning and real-world workflows. AI is being widely used, from generating ideas and explaining concepts to suggesting approaches during investigations or testing. In this context, hands-on learning becomes even more important. AI can accelerate exploration, but real progress still comes from solving challenges independently and building the technical depth behind every solution.
Understanding where AI helps and where it falls short is now a key skill in itself. That’s why CyberEDU integrates AI into the learning experience in a controlled and practical way, designed to support the learning process.
For UNbreakable Romania 2026 (and beyond!), CyberEDU introduced new platform capabilities that combine AI-assisted exploration with structured, hands-on training.
Through the MCP Server by CyberEDU, learners can interact with the platform more efficiently, using AI to navigate faster, explore concepts, and move through challenges with increased productivity.
At the same time, CyberEDU Classrooms provide a structured environment for guided and scalable training, where educators can create private learning spaces, assign challenges, track progress in real time, and monitor skill development across teams and students. Together, these capabilities ensure that AI enhances the learning process while keeping the focus where it matters most: hands-on practice, independent thinking, and real-world skill building.
2. Supporting the Romanian cybersecurity community
CyberEDU actively supports initiatives that grow the cybersecurity ecosystem in Romania.
By participating in UNbreakable Romania, we:
- inspire new cybersecurity professionals
- bridge the gap between education and industry
- encourage collaboration between students, educators, and experts
At the same time, CyberEDU supports the development of local infosec communities by promoting the creation of Infosec Clubs across the country. These clubs provide a practical, collaborative environment where cybersecurity enthusiasts can:
- access hands-on learning opportunities beyond traditional education
- connect with like-minded peers and build strong local communities
- develop real-world skills through practice, challenges, and competitions
By encouraging the creation of these local hubs, CyberEDU contributes to expanding access to cybersecurity education, supporting continuous learning, and helping shape future professionals. Whether initiated by students, teachers, or industry enthusiasts, these communities play an important role in strengthening the cybersecurity landscape in Romania, with guidance and support from the UNbreakable Romania team.
3. Encouraging diversity and inclusion through Girls in Cyber Bootcamp
Another important initiative within the UNbreakable Romania 2026 program is the Girls in Cyber Bootcamp, which aims to encourage more young women to explore careers in cybersecurity.
The bootcamp offers dedicated training sessions and hands-on cybersecurity challenges designed specifically to support and empower female participants who are interested in entering the field.
By creating an inclusive learning environment and providing access to cybersecurity education early on, programs like Girls in Cyber Bootcamp help address the gender gap in cybersecurity while inspiring the next generation of young, talented women in tech.
CyberEDU fully supports initiatives that promote diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities in cybersecurity education.
Why do initiatives like UNbreakable Romania matter?
The global demand for cybersecurity capabilities continues to outpace the available skill sets within organizations.
Today, the real challenge is not just hiring people, but developing the right expertise to:
- detect attacks effectively
- respond to incidents in real time
- secure complex infrastructures
- think from an attacker’s perspective
Competitions and programs like UNbreakable Romania play a critical role in closing this skills gap by helping participants build practical, job-ready capabilities. At the same time, they strengthen essential soft skills such as teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving.
By offering a safe environment to learn, experiment, and improve, these initiatives accelerate skill development while connecting learners to the broader cybersecurity community.
