training
Regulatory News:
Exclusive Networks (Euronext Paris: EXN), a global trusted
cybersecurity specialist for digital infrastructure, is pleased to
announce the launch of the Exclusive Academy, a global
cybersecurity training programme.
As an industry, cybersecurity suffers from a shortage of
experts. Globally, Exclusive Networks estimates that three million
cyber positions are currently vacant. This comes at a time when
cyber threats are more and more numerous and sophisticated. To
protect companies and governments’ data and people against the
ongoing cyber threat, we will need to see a 65% increase in the
global cybersecurity workforce.
Exclusive Networks is launching the Exclusive Academy as a
tangible and concrete step towards addressing this alarming talent
and skills gap in the cybersecurity sector.
As part of the Exclusive Academy, approximately 20 participants
will benefit from specialised training over a three-year period,
from highly qualified and operational cyber-experts who meet the
needs of the job market. The Exclusive Academy will offer practical
field experience as well as theoretical training, culminating in
high level qualifications. The practical, hands-on experience in
the field is a key differentiator for the programme. Students will
spend 9 weeks working on technical projects in the field in the
first year, 12 weeks in the second year and 14 weeks in the third
year. The programme will also offer 12 weeks of classes in the
first year, 10 weeks in the second and then 8 weeks in the final
year.
The students will come from the partner schools Guardia (a cyber
security school based in Paris and Lyon) and Oteria Cyber School (a
cyber security school based in Paris), following interviews by
Jean-Marc Muselli, Director of Services at Exclusive Networks
France. The courses will be led by Exclusive Networks' trainers,
security, and network engineers, who have a thorough knowledge of
the brands and all the technologies distributed by the Group.
Jesper Trolle, CEO of Exclusive Networks, comments: “This
is Exclusive Networks’ response to a critical challenge facing the
cyber industry: to recruit, train and retain experts to stay on the
cutting edge of technology. Only 15% of cybersecurity professionals
in the world got to their position through cybersecurity training.
This creates a huge mismatch between the needs of the industry and
the supply of training. Today, I am extremely proud of the work
accomplished by the Exclusive Networks teams. With this initiative,
we are providing a sustainable solution to one of the biggest
cybersecurity challenges in the world and sending a strong message
to students and young talents, but also to the entire cybersecurity
ecosystem.”
