OPSWAT launches Academy Bootcamp to enhance critical infrastructure cybersecurity skills

Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) cybersecurity solutions vendor OPSWAT announced that it will be launching OPSWAT Academy Bootcamp, a three-day instructor-led training program starting in April next year.

The OPSWAT Academy Bootcamp is an extension of OPSWAT Academy, an interactive and comprehensive cybersecurity training platform designed to educate and certify cybersecurity professionals responsible for safeguarding critical environments. With over 50,000 certified professionals to date, OPSWAT Academy has consistently set the standard for excellence in CIP cybersecurity training.

The inaugural in-person training will be conducted globally, commencing in Dubai, followed in Romania, the U.S., Singapore, the U.K., and Australia. The global approach aims to provide accessibility to cybersecurity professionals worldwide, fostering a collaborative learning environment and further solidifying OPSWAT’s commitment to enhancing CIP cybersecurity skills globally.

“The goal of OPSWAT Academy Bootcamp is to empower our customers and the cybersecurity community to unlock the full potential of OPSWAT products through immersive, lab-based training programs,” Irfan Shakeel, vice president of training and certification services at OPSWAT, said in a media statement. “By expanding our offerings to include live, instructor-led training, we are taking a significant step towards equipping cybersecurity professionals with the practical skills and knowledge required to safeguard critical infrastructure effectively.”

OPSWAT Academy Bootcamp training will cover a comprehensive range of topics, including policy and product configurations, deployments and configurations, and customizations – ensuring participants gain a deep understanding of OPSWAT products and their applications in real-world scenarios. The curriculum is carefully designed to provide a hands-on experience, allowing attendees to enhance their expertise and stay ahead in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Upon completion of the training program, attendees will be awarded an OPSWAT Academy certification, a testament to their proficiency in CIP and OPSWAT products. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, OPSWAT remains dedicated to providing training programs that empower professionals to safeguard critical infrastructure against emerging threats.

Last month, OPSWAT partnered with Distology, a cybersecurity technology distributor and services provider in the UK, to bring OPSWAT’s information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) solutions to Distology’s cybersecurity operations portfolio and add new dimensions to Distology’s OT cybersecurity portfolio in the U.K.
