Increasing Access To Fortinet Cybersecurity Training's Top Level Of Certification
Fortinet News, January 30th, 2023
While there's progress in closing the cybersecurity skills gap, there's still plenty of work to be done to ensure that organizations have the talent they need to secure their critical assets.
According to the (ISC) 2022 Cyber Workforce Report, there is a global cybersecurity workforce gap of 3.4 million people. The same report found that despite adding more than 464,000 workers in the past year, the cybersecurity workforce gap has grown more than twice as much as the workforce with a 26.2% year-over-year increase.
To help address this growing talent shortage by helping security professionals upskill to become more advanced experts in the field, Fortinet is expanding access to its Network Security Expert (NSE) level 8 certification, Fortinet's top level of certification, by making it entirely available through online proctored exams.
