Cyber security training programmes

Global IT certifications leader, CompTIA has entered into commercial training partnerships with four dominant entities in the IT skills training space. These entities are: Springpeople and Suchi Managed Services, for a pan India audience, Infosectrain, for Delhi, Pune, Bangalore and Chennai and Cybersecurityindia for Mumbai, Pune and Thane only. With this new collaboration, CompTIA aims to strengthen the presence of its IT skills portfolio and make its certifications more accessible to learners both in metro cities as well as in tier II and III cities.

Rapid adoption of social, mobile, analytics, cloud & IoT (SMACT) technologies is resulting in growing complexities pertaining to data security, network infrastructure, and security regulation & compliance, thereby boosting demand for cyber security solutions and services across the country.  

Demand for cyber security professionals is driven mostly by consulting firms, banks, the government, retail, BFSI companies and IT companies. Financial service institutions including banks, payment gateways and ecommerce organisations are the biggest employers in cyber security . Recruiters have complained that engineering graduates trained conventionally lack the skills cyber security companies are looking for. In this context, CompTIA’s globally recognised and state-of-the-art courses will bridge the skill-education gap.

The courses for which training will be imparted by these partners are CompTIA Security +, CompTIA CYSA + and CASP, CompTIA Pentest +, CompTIA Cloud + and CompTIA Network +.
