The Passage Program is a professional service
designed to help bridge the skills gap for upcoming and established
cybersecurity professionals
TD SYNNEX announced today the launch of the Passage Program, a
professional service for current partners. Delivered through the TD
SYNNEX Cyber Range, the program is designed to help bridge the
growing cybersecurity skills gap through development of upcoming
and established cybersecurity professionals.
“Globally, we are seeing a massive shortage of cybersecurity
professionals, with nearly 2.7 million professionals needed to fill
cybersecurity roles, according to research by (ISC)²,” said Tracy
Holtz, vice president of Security Solutions, North America, TD
SYNNEX. “To address this gap, TD SYNNEX is committed to delivering
best-in-class security offerings, and our Passage Program is a key
initiative in achieving this goal.”
The Passage Program will address the cybersecurity skills gap
through our Placement Initiative and the Upskill Initiative.
Placement Initiative
The Placement Initiative is a program designed to place
candidates into new job roles by providing the resources and
technical skills needed to succeed in cybersecurity. This includes
skills ranging from investigating alerts to report writing. The
Placement Initiative currently supports career readiness and job
placement for Security Operations Center (SOC) Tier 1 Analyst and
Junior Penetration Tester roles.
Benefits of the Placement Initiative include:
- Candidates will be provided with skills training, industry
knowledge, career consulting and a final assessment of job
readiness at no cost to the candidate.
- Candidates will receive placement assistance into a
cybersecurity job role that aligns to the training completed in the
program.
- The initiative will help employers overcome the challenges of
identifying competent and capable applicants by hiring candidates
that have completed the program.
- TD SYNNEX partners looking to hire well-qualified and competent
cybersecurity talent can strengthen their internal security teams
through the Placement Initiative.

Upskill Initiative
The Upskill Initiative is designed to develop participants in
their current roles by providing the resources and competencies to
enhance and build upon existing technical skills. This initiative
currently supports job readiness and development for SOC Tier 1
Analyst and Junior Penetration Tester roles.
Benefits of the Upskill Initiative include:
- The Passage Program staff and trainings eliminate the hassle of
needing to spend time and resources towards developing the right
cybersecurity candidate to fit the right role.
- The Upskill Initiative, including traditional products and
solutions exclusively offered by TD SYNNEX, will now be available

candidates and existing staff through the Upskill Initiative.

organizations in building their cybersecurity maturity and
readiness.

grow their internal talent and support their clients’ cybersecurity
practices.

“The Passage Program training has helped me with the technical
components of SOC Analyst job interviews,” said Jane Acutin, a SOC
Analyst 1 Placement Initiative Candidate. “Working with the Cyber
Range engineers who had real-world experience on the job, was
incredibly valuable and built my confidence in finding the right
job for me.”

training facility hosted by an IT distributor. It is made to serve
as a platform for cybersecurity demonstration and training. By
