Dubai-based XpertLearning has announced today that it will be offering Cybersecurity (CSA+) certification in the Middle East. CompTIA CSA+ is an international, vendor-neutral certification that validates the skills required to combat malware and threats through the application of behavioral analytics.
Skillsoft, a global leader in eLearning and vendor partners of XpertLearning, has been selected as an authorised content provider for the CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CSA+) certification and will support XpertLearning with the content.
“IT Certification is an increasingly competitive advantage for our customers; both for their businesses, as well as for attracting and retaining talent. Certification enables employees to showcase their understanding, knowledge, and expertise of a subject with demonstrable skills” says Bill Donoghue, Skillsoft’s chairman and CEO.
Skillsoft is the first eLearning provider to offer courses, books, videos, virtual instructor-led training, virtual practice labs, mentors, and other test preparation resources that offer the best certification preparation available for the new CompTIA CSA+ exam, through XpertLearning, its partner in the Middle East.
Paul Gledhill, Co-Founder and Executive Director of XpertLearning, said:” We are proud that we continue to keep up with the latest courses for the most important topics in the region. Cybersecurity is one of our biggest tasks to mitigate our risks of Cybercrimes and infiltration. Our key differentiator is not only providing online courses but also being able to provide aligned internationally recognised certification”.
The partnership with CompTIA helps IT professionals constantly update their skills to meet the changing needs of the organisation, from on-the-job troubleshooting to the most pressing IT security concerns. CompTIA CSA+ was created based on widespread and unprecedented demand from the public and private sectors for a certification that fills a gap in cybersecurity credentials and addresses the unique role of the cybersecurity analyst.
