We invite experts to become AKTA members.
We invite experts to join the Azerbaijan Association of Cybersecurity Organizations (ACOA) in order to foster the development of the cybersecurity ecosystem in the country and promote the formation of a community of IT professionals. We encourage professionals to apply for ACOA membership.
To fulfill these objectives, ACOA has established an Expert Database. Approved applicants become physical members of ACOA and their information is included in the Expert Database. Subsequently, experts can avail themselves of ACOA membership benefits.
Expert Bank: It is an open source of information for the public and your information will be shared on the Expert Bank page.

Minimum requirements:
- Age and Citizenship: Individuals who are 18 years old or above and are citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan or individuals who have obtained permission to reside and/or work in the Republic of Azerbaijan.

If you also wish to become a member of ACOA and actively participate in the development of the country's IT and cybersecurity environment, please fill out the following form and complete the registration process.
AKTA membership applications are reviewed within a maximum period of one month, and individuals who meet the requirements are admitted as members by the ACOA Board of Directors and included in the Expert Database. Subsequently, ACOA members are awarded a certificate.
