Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Jigsaw Academy, a pioneer in Emerging Technologies and data science training, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HackerU, one of the world's leading Cybersecurity Training companies from Israel, to launch India’s first ‘Offensive’ Cybersecurity Certification Programme. Offensive refers to the proactive and adversarial approach to ensure the safety of the dedicated cyberspace.
Mr. Gaurav Vohra, Co-founder & CEO, Jigsaw Academy, said, “The demand for cybersecurity 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 cybersecurity will only increase manifold, especially in view of the increasing number of cashless transactions and mobile banking.”
“For industries, cybersecurity has emerged as a key area of priority as threats emerge on multiple fronts. Our new offerings, with the much-coveted HackerU, is a one-of-its-kind programme in India that shall enable professionals in India to remain ahead of the curve,” he added.
Commenting on HackerU’s first exclusive tie-up with an Indian educational institute, Mr. Gil Adani, CEO, HackerU, said, “Globally, there’s a shortfall of cybersecurity 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 cybersecurity was necessary.”
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 cybersecurity professionals. The programme is also the only cybersecurity certification programme in India to train candidates on Offensive Technologies and has been developed in Israel, a global tech powerhouse with has dozens of firms specialising in security.
Cybersecurity is touted as one of the most-critical variables in the 21st-century global commerce and politics. A report from Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2021. Nasscom estimates that India alone will need 1 million cybersecurity professionals by 2020.
