Swiss German University Reinforces Its Commitment to AI and Cybersecurity at ISC.AI 2026
Swiss German University (SGU) reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity by participating in ISC.AI 2026, one of the world’s leading conferences on Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity, held at the Beijing National Convention Center on 24 June 2026.
Representing SGU, Dr. Ir. Charles Lim, Secretary of the Master of Information Technology Program and Head of the Security Operations Center (SOC) at SGU, delivered a keynote presentation titled “Building the Agentic AI Security Workforce: Skills, Pipelines, and the Talent Imperative.”
During his presentation, Dr. Charles Lim explored the emergence of Agentic AI, the next generation of artificial intelligence capable of autonomously planning, reasoning, and executing complex tasks. While these capabilities are transforming industries and accelerating digital innovation, they also introduce new cybersecurity challenges that require organizations to develop a highly skilled AI security workforce.
Dr. Charles emphasized the importance of preparing professionals with interdisciplinary expertise that extends beyond technical capabilities to include AI governance, risk management, secure AI development, and AI-driven Security Operations Centers (SOC). He highlighted that strong collaboration among universities, industry, and government is essential to developing a resilient ecosystem capable of addressing the evolving security challenges of the AI era.
SGU’s participation in ISC.AI 2026 reflects the University’s ongoing commitment to contributing to global discussions on emerging technologies while advancing education, research, and innovation in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and digital transformation.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dipl.-Ing. Samuel P. Kusumocahyo, Rector of Swiss German University, emphasized that AI and Cybersecurity have become strategic priorities for the University in preparing future-ready graduates.
“Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity will play a fundamental role in shaping the future of every industry. At Swiss German University, we are committed to continuously strengthening education, research, and international collaboration in these fields to develop graduates who are not only academically excellent but also equipped to address global technological challenges and drive meaningful innovation,” said Prof. Samuel.
This commitment is reflected through SGU’s industry-oriented curriculum, applied research initiatives, and strategic collaborations with national and international partners. Through its Master of Information Technology Program, SGU continues to foster innovation while preparing future digital leaders with the knowledge and competencies required to build secure, responsible, and sustainable AI-driven technologies.
By actively participating in international forums such as ISC.AI 2026, SGU continues to strengthen its position as a globally connected university that contributes to the advancement of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity while preparing the next generation of professionals to lead in an increasingly intelligent and digitally connected world.
