Collaborating With Partners To Expand Access To Fortinet's Industry-Recognized Cybersecurity Training
Fortinet News, December 7th, 2022
The 2022 (ISC)2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study found that 3.4 million people are needed to fill the global cybersecurity workforce gap.
The report also found that despite adding more than 464,000 security workers in the past year, the cybersecurity workforce gap has grown more than twice as much as the workforce. While some progress is being made to expand the cyber workforce, the gap is still significant.
The Fortinet Training Institute programs are addressing the cybersecurity skills gap through its industry-recognized training for security professionals, as well as underserved populations, women, veterans, students, and anyone interested in a career in cybersecurity. By upskilling and reskilling individuals, Fortinet is committed to training 1 million people in cybersecurity by 2026. To help reach this goal, Fortinet is collaborating with various partners, ranging from nonprofits, academic institutions, and channel and training partners to help deliver and provide the Fortinet Training Institute curriculum to these organizations.
