In an era of rapidly evolving cyber threats, the need for continuous cybersecurity training is more critical than ever. Check Point Research (CPR) even highlights a 30% increase in cyberattacks in Q2 2024 – the highest surge in the last two years. This fact further emphasises how essential it is for organisations to ensure their IT teams are consistently trained and equipped to face growing challenges.
Recognising the importance of continual skills development, Check Point has expanded its training offerings for Infinity Customers through its ongoing partnership with OffSec, adding OffSec’s Learn Enterprise product into the Infinity Global Services (IGS) customers offering. In a similar fashion to the Check Point – Cybrary partnership, OffSec collaboration with Check Point ensures Check Point customers now have more access than ever to affordable, cutting-edge cybersecurity training resources, enabling them to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Why Cyber security Training Is Non-Negotiable In 2024
A recent workforce study by ISC2 revealed that 92% of organisations require skill development to maintain and strengthen their cybersecurity posture. Furthermore, Check Point’s research in collaboration with Vanson Bourne shows that 89% of IT and security professionals face a significant skills gap, making it clear that traditional approaches to workforce development are no longer enough. To combat sophisticated cyberattacks, organisations must prioritise continuous learning and real-world application of skills.
OffSec Learn Enterprise: A Game-Changer for Check Point IGS Customers
To address this growing skills gap, Check Point recently added OffSec’s flagship cyber learning product: the “Learn Enterprise” platform. This self-paced cyber training platform for companies and large organisations would be added to IGS’ Hacking Point program, which celebrated its 5th anniversary this year, and remains a centerpiece in IGS’s Training Programs portfolio.
OffSec, a leader in hands-on cybersecurity training, enables Check Point’s Infinity customers to use its flagship learning product, Learn Enterprise, to tackle the cyber security talent shortage head-on. Via OffSec’s Learn Enterprise platform, Check Point customers can access a wide range of resources that foster deep technical skills that can be mastered and then used in real-world simulation experiences.
