Jigsaw Academy, a leading company in technologies and data science training, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HackerU in order to launch India’s first ‘Offensive’ Cyber-security Certification programme. HackerU is one of the leading cyber security training companies from Israel.
“The demand for cyber-security professionals is growing at an exponential rate, but the supply of the right talent continues to remain scarce. As India takes a leap forward to ramp up its digital infrastructure, the relevance of cyber-security will only increase manifold, especially in view of the increasing number of cashless transactions and mobile banking,” said Gaurav Vohra, Co-founder and CEO, Jigsaw Academy.
“For industries, cyber-security has emerged as a key area of priority as threats emerge on multiple fronts. Our new offerings, with the much-coveted HackerU, are a one-of-its-kind programme in India that shall enable professionals in India to remain ahead of the curve,” he added.
“Globally, there’s a shortfall of cyber-security professionals and a big part of the global tech workforce comes from India and so we feel training the Indian workforce to fill this gap in cyber security was necessary,” said Gil Adani, CEO, HackerU.
The strategic tie-up aims at skilling professionals in the domain as per the global industry standards and also in bridging the huge demand for trained cyber-security professionals.
