Fortinet News, Monday, June 24th, 2024
As the threat landscape intensifies, many organizations worldwide continue to struggle to recruit and retain skilled cybersecurity practitioners.
While the size of the cybersecurity workforce overall continues to grow, according to recent research, approximately 4 million individuals are still needed to fill vacant cybersecurity roles.
To help shrink the skills gap, Fortinet is committed to training 1 million people globally by 2026 across a five-year span through our Training Advancement Agenda (TAA) initiatives and Network Security Experts (NSE) Training Institute programs. Fortinet also recently joined the European Commission's Cybersecurity Skills Academy Initiative, pledging to train 75,000 individuals across Europe over the next three years. Working with our academic partners is another vital component of this multi-pronged effort.
