Cybersecurity training and workforce development to be SANS’ focus for GISEC 2022

SANS Institute has announced its participation at GISEC 2022, which will be held from March 21 to 23 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. SANS will demonstrate a wide range of their offerings at GISEC, including core training courses, Capture-the-Flag events (CTFs), security awareness products, knowledge assessments, NetWars tournaments, and Cyber Training academies, to educate visitors on how SANS can help organisations train, recruit, and retain cybersecurity staff.

“There is an ever-growing cybersecurity skills gap and need for trained personnel within organizations. With a growing shortage of people available on the job market, it is becoming increasingly challenging for organizations to find the right talent for the right jobs,” said Ned Baltagi, Managing Director, Middle East and Africa at SANS Institute.

“We have many products to offer organizations – small and large – to help them provide their staff with the best possible training experience. As the largest and most anticipated cybersecurity exhibition in the Arab region, GISEC is the best platform to spotlight our larger product portfolio and inform professionals that SANS’ proficiencies expand beyond our training courses,” Baltagi added.

During GISEC, SANS will provide guests with the option to participate in the SANS Secure Middle East 2022 training session, which will be held in Riyadh later this month, via their Live Online training format.

Senior executives and cybersecurity experts from SANS Institute will be on hand at stand D21-24 to network and share insights on how SANS is working to close the current cybersecurity skills gap, as well as how individuals and organisations can adequately protect themselves against the latest cyber threats from nation-state actors. Attendees can also participate in one of SANS’s Capture-the-Flag events.
