Fortinet announced that a local education provider will now offer\u00a0cybersecurity training and certification under the\u00a0Fortinet Network Security Academy\u00a0(FNSA) program.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FNSA, which is part of Fortinet\u2019s\u00a0Network Security Expert (NSE) Institute, provides cybersecurity training and certification curricula for high schools, colleges and universities with the mission to prepare the future workforce with cybersecurity skills sought after by employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Don Bosco Technological College\u00a0(DBTC) in Mandaluyong City will leverage\u00a0Fortinet\u2019s comprehensive network security platform to run courses about modern network administration and security. The Academy will provide Fortinet\u2019s industry-recognized Network Security Expert (NSE) training and certification opportunities to participants to help prepare students for career success in network security, obtaining both theoretical lectures and hands-on laboratory practice during the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FNSA programme is available at 150 academies in more than 60 different countries. In the Philippines, DBTC is the second institution to partner with Fortinet for the FNSA programme. This new partnership was announced during a signing ceremony held at DBTC on November 27, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ITE-FNSA programme will complement the current Cyber and Network Security course in DBTC. Students will learn how to design and configure secure enterprise networks with next generation firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), email, and anti-malware security technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ITE-FNSA programme will be offered to students starting next school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a Cyberdefence Workforce<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent workforce development\u00a0survey, 59% of organizations have unfilled cybersecurity positions, with Frost & Sullivan\u00a0forecasting\u00a0a shortfall of 1.5 million by 2020. As the\u00a0cybersecurity skills gap\u00a0continues to widen, it is creating what some now consider to be one of the top cybersecurity risks for many organizations. This critical shortage in the cybersecurity workforce has resulted in security operations teams who are overworked and understaffed, which can often result in either neglecting to adhere to cybersecurity best practices or careless errors in caring for network and security resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from training students and the next-generation workforce, cybersecurity is a viable career option for those looking to change careers or those re-entering the workforce after an absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers can invest in their own employees who already have technical skills and backgrounds by providing them with cybersecurity specific training and continuing education through courses with the FNSA programme. By enrolling members of their IT teams in this, organizations can help fill security talent shortages from within their own employee pool.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By expanding the availability of the\u00a0Network Security Academy\u00a0program across the world, Fortinet is empowering emerging security professionals to address the skills shortage and continue to help close the skills gap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
