Making Cybersecurity Training and Career Opportunities Accessible to Everyone
Training Advancement Agenda (TAA) and the Cybersecurity Skills Gap
CYBERSECURITY WORKFORCE GAP:
2.72M*
The Fortinet Training Institute’s ecosystem of public and private partnerships helps Fortinet further address the skills gap by increasing the access and reach of its cybersecurity certifications and training.
We work with global leaders like the World Economic Forum as part of our effort to drive change on the most pressing cybersecurity issues. Our partnerships extend to industry, academia, government, and nonprofits in an effort to reach more people and help close the cybersecurity skills gap.

The Fortinet NSE Training Institute has grown globally to serve all IT and security professionals, as well as individuals interesting in entering the cybersecurity field. Since its inception, the NSE Training Institute has evolved to offer an eight level certification program combined with nearly 400 hours of supporting training curriculum.
