Recently, Red Education has become a critical delivery partner to the global security industry. At the start of 2020, governments around the world mandated responses to COVID-19, forcing businesses to spend money updating their computer systems and processes as they rushed to support virtual point-of-sale (VPOS) operations and replace more traditional brick-and-mortar businesses. These fast changes put businesses in danger, giving cybercriminals the chance to break into networks through identity theft, malware, phishing, data theft, and cryptographic operations.
The purpose of Red Education is twofold.
- For their students: to empower them through learning
- For organizations: to ensure their protection against cyber threats by providing highly skilled personnel to implement the latest cybersecurity technology solutions.
They do this by providing a training framework that supports and upskills the IT community they serve, with the essential technical knowledge that underpins their respective companies’ operating systems. These outcomes greatly enhance students’ understanding of the implementation process, maintenance, and best practice standards to support the relevant technology in the field.
