As part of Fortinet's commitment to train 1 million people by 2026, the Fortinet Training Institute has created an education-focused version of its Security Awareness and Training Service. Fortinet is committing to make this service available for free to all primary and secondary schools in Australia as well as other countries around the world as language options become available.
With content incorporating threat intelligence insights from FortiGuard Labs, the SaaS-based service arms education staff with the latest knowledge, guidance, and tips to make smarter choices when confronted by cyberattacks and other risks to schools.
Research from Fortinet’s 2023 Security Awareness and Training Global Research Brief shows that in the education sector:
of education institutions experienced one or more breaches during the last 12 months
see the benefits of cybersecurity training to better protect their schools
believe increased cybersecurity awareness for all education staff reduces cyberattacks
|
Purpose-built to align to NIST 800-50 and NIST 800-16 guidelines, the service provides a turnkey offering including an intuitive administrative interface for campaign building, monitoring, and reporting. Certificates of Completion are issued to those learners who complete the training.
