Businesses around the globe are in dire need of cybersecurity talent. With roughly 4 million vacant roles in the cybersecurity industry, public and private organizations must work together to find new, creative ways to address this skills gap, diversify the talent pool, and train the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
Fortinet has a long-standing commitment to making cybersecurity training and related career opportunities accessible to everyone, and we’re making significant progress toward our goal of training 1 million individuals in cybersecurity by 2026.
A critical component of this effort is our Academic Partner Program.
Through this initiative, Fortinet works with more than 700 academic institutions across 100 countries and territories around the world to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive cybersecurity workforce.
