Fortinet Announces Free Training Offering for Schools

Free training service for more than 8 million staff and faculty across U.S. school districts will advance Fortinet’s mission to close the cyber skills gap.

Sandra Wheatley, Senior Vice President, Customer Marketing, Threat Intelligence and Global Influencer Communications at Fortinet:

“Fortinet is proud to participate in the White House National Cyber Workforce and Education Summit to share our expertise and insight based upon our longstanding dedication to closing the cyber skills gap through cross sector collaborations and dialogue.

Since the establishment of the Fortinet Training Institute in 2016 and through our Training Advancement Agenda (TAA) initiatives, Fortinet continues to make cybersecurity opportunities accessible to more people, including populations who are often overlooked such as women, minorities and veterans, through training. Today, as part of our pledge to train 1 million people in cybersecurity across the next five years, Fortinet announced a new free training offering to help combat attacks on our educational institutions.”
