Mandiant Launches Mandiant Academy Providing Security Teams with Training from Frontline Cyber Experts

Posted on: 08/Oct/2021 10:25:26 AM
Mandiant, Inc., (NASDAQ: MNDT), the leader in dynamic cyber defense and response, today announced its new training program Mandiant Academy. Leveraging Mandiants leading threat intelligence and cyber security expertise, the program provides education courses, incident response and threat intelligence analysis certifications, and operational skills training to meet the shifting needs of security teams today. Delivered by frontline industry experts, Mandiant Academy is designed to help close the cyber security skills gap by maturing security teams on-the-job capabilities and improving their ability to prevent, detect and respond to todays evolving threat actors.

Closing the cyber security skills gap through trainings and certifications

An estimated nearly half a million cyber security jobs remain open. This skills gap is compounded by the fact that cyber criminals tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) have become more advanced and unpredictable. Organizations need to implement strategies that involve training their security teams to develop and grow their problem-solving and critical thinking skills to defeat threats at hand. With flexible delivery options to meet specific organizational needs, Mandiant Academy helps ensure that cyber security practitioners are equipped with the right skillsets and latest knowledge on the attacker landscape to be even greater assets to their organizations before, during, and after an incident.

To further the impact of Mandiants training program, the company is collaborating with VetSec, Inc., a non-profit organization that helps veterans enter careers in cyber security, to offer 33 VetSec, Inc. members complimentary access to Mandiant Academys On-Demand Cyber Threat Intelligence Training courses.

Were thrilled to provide a subset of our members this robust program and access to in-depth training from the cyber security experts fighting sophisticated attackers every day, said Tom Marsland, Board Chairman at VetSec, Inc. At VetSec, Inc., we work with veterans to help them continue to excel or transition out of the military and secure careers in IT and cyber security. This includes providing the best, free resources like Mandiant Academy.
