ISC2 Names Global Knowledge a UK Official Training Provider to Grow Cybersecurity Skills

As the UK emerges from lockdown, expanded training partner network will increase the options for organizations and individuals in the UK to invest in cybersecurity certification exam preparation

(LONDON, July 29, 2020) - ISC2 - the world’s largest nonprofit association of certified cybersecurity professionals – today announced that Global Knowledge has been added as an Official Training Provider for the UK, further expanding the range of leading training organizations offering ISC2 certification preparation training in one of the world’s biggest markets for IT security professionals.

Global Knowledge will be providing exam preparation training for the full range of ISC2 certifications to its UK customer base, delivering pathways to new sectors and audiences, increasing the size of the UK channel presence for ISC2 and responding to increased demand and a growing supply shortage of certified professionals in the workforce.

It has made cybersecurity skills all the more critical as organizations tackle the cyber challenge on multiple fronts - dealing with external and internal cyber threats, maintaining regulatory compliance amid evolving regulation, following best practices and securing an increasingly distributed workforce. We welcome Global Knowledge as a UK partner in delivering our shared mission and supporting the development and learning journey of cybersecurity professionals.”

As an Official Training Provider in the UK, Global Knowledge customers are assured that they are being taught by verified security experts, who are authorized to deliver the most relevant, up-to-date course content developed by ISC2.
