Security Innovation Donates Cybersecurity Training Platform to Shaw University
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on May 25, 2022 Security Innovation, a pioneer in software security assessment and training, announced today a partnership with Shaw University, a historically black college/university (HBCU). The software security training platform features an extensive catalog of online courses, hands-on labs, and authentic cyber ranges. The partnership supports Shaw’s commitment to addressing the cybersecurity job shortage, which presently stands at nearly 3 million unfilled positions globally. The Shaw University Center for Cybersecurity Education and Research also will help improve the lack of diversity in the industry by creating new cybersecurity professionals from under-represented demographic populations. Shaw students will get full access to CMD+CTRL Base Camp, the same training platform used by Security Innovation’s enterprise customers, including some of the most recognizable global brands. Students will be trained on the most pressing security issues facing our increasingly software- and cloud-dependent world. Shaw University will offer its cybersecurity degree programs beginning with the Fall 2022 semester. The extensive program is mapped to NIST’s NICE Framework and will prepare students for entry-level work roles, including: Information Security Analyst Penetration Tester Cybersecurity Policy Advisor Cyber Threat Hunter Cyber Intelligence Analyst Incident Responder Security Operations Analyst The learning methodology used in Security Innovation’s training platform is similar to what higher education institutions have used for decades to build skills in a timely, effective way: learn, practice, and master. Shaw will integrate these products as an integral part of classroom education, labs, and capstone projects for its new cybersecurity programs. “This partnership with Security Innovation is a significant step toward preparing our students to be leaders in the cybersecurity industry,” said Dr. Paulette Dillard, President of Shaw University. “By collaborating with a leader in security training, our students will have access to state-of-the-art software, training, and technology, which is crucial for workplace readiness on Day 1.” “As a university spin-off itself, Security Innovation recognizes the value of educating students on cybersecurity so they graduate with skills that are in demand,” said Ed Adams, CEO of Security Innovation. “This partnership builds on our decade-long commitment to diversify the cyber security industry so we are better able to defend critical infrastructure. There are good social, economic, and geopolitical reasons for launching this partnership with Shaw University.” SOURCE Security Innovation If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
