Microsoft aims at skilling 1 lakh learners in India by 2022 and bridge the skills gap through the cybersecurity free online course
Microsoft launched cybersecurity skilling program that aims to skill over 1 lakh learners by 2022 to address skills gap and empower India's workforce for a career in cybersecurity. The free online course is designed to give learners hands-on experience in the fundamentals of security, compliance, and identity. Microsoft will conduct these courses along with its strategic consortium of partners including Cloudthat, Koenig, RPS, and Synergetics Learning. The course modules are designed to support all levels of learners, regardless of where they are in their cybersecurity journey.
Commenting on the initiative, Anant Maheshwari, president, Microsoft India, said,:“Trust and security are at the heart of who we are as a company, and we work closely with governments, civil society and organizations across the world to help them stay secure. Investing in cybersecurity skilling and preparing the next generation of security leaders is a big part of that effort. Microsoft is deeply committed to democratize skilling for all and this program is a strong step in making cybersecurity skilling accessible and affordable for all.”
Microsoft has introduced four new security, compliance, and identity certifications, of which the accredited certification for Fundamentals will be offered at zero-cost for any individual who attends the associated training through this initiative. Additionally, in collaboration with its partners, Microsoft, offers learners deeply discounted offers on the rest of the advanced role-based certifications to drive deep skills for addressing cybersecurity challenges.
Bhavesh Goswami, CEO – CloudThat Technologies, said:“Security is an area where Microsoft is really the leader in terms of the depth and breadth of solutions. This program has really helped people get an introduction to the Microsoft Security suite and make a career out of it.” Those who with to know more can visit the official website for further information.
