GuidePoint Security University helps develop and advance cybersecurity skills
May 10, 2022 – Published on HelpNetSecurity
Recent numbers on the cybersecurity skills shortage shows more than 2.72 million open positions, with the global workforce needing to grow 65% to effectively defend organizations’ critical assets. GuidePoint Security announced that it has created GuidePoint Security University (GPSU) as a training and development pipeline for developing critical cybersecurity skills and applying them to real-world solutions.
“The cybersecurity skills gap is a real problem in our space,” said Michael Volk, Managing Partner and Founder, GuidePoint Security. “Not only are there more positions to fill than people, but the lack of expertise in specific cybersecurity disciplines is also a challenge for many of our customers. This is one of the reasons why GuidePoint Security has experienced rapid continuous growth – because we can help our customers fill the void of navigating what has become a very complex threat and solution landscape.”
GPSU is designed for individuals who either want to begin a career in cybersecurity or extend their current technical skills, including students, transitioning service members, and those who have been employed in other industries. GPSU also has an internship component, which is tailored to create an individualized experience based on the learner’s background and aptitude. During an internship, learners hone both their technical and soft skills, while mastering best practices around reducing customer cyber risk. To support transitioning military members, GuidePoint is authorized to conduct DoD SkillBridge, Career Skills Program and Hiring Our Heroes internships.
