OPSWAT Issues Its First 2,000 Certifications To Cybersecurity Professionals To Help Close The Skills Gap In The Critical Infrastructure Protection Market
Summary
OPSWAT Academy was established to tackle the increasing challenge of unfilled demand for cybersecurity professionals and the gap left by alternative programs that focus too much on theory and concepts rather than a hands-on approach to CIP training. “One of the greatest vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure today is the grave deficiency of highly trained, qualified individuals needed to protect our nation’s 16 CI sectors. Since its launch, OPSWAT Academy has expanded to include five modules – all of which closely follow the Purdue Model, which establishes best practices on maintaining data security between ICS networks, enterprise networks, the internet, and now the expanded perimeter of the cloud. Looking ahead, OPSWAT plans to grow the certification program to include Network Access Control (NAC) and Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) content in order to further expand their zero trust philosophy.
