This is as it joined forces with one of the world’s largest cybersecurity technical certification body, EC-Council, to help Nigerian organisations take pre-emptive measures against malicious attacks.The partnership will help Gidinerd provide services which will enable organisations and individuals learn how to identify and defend the weaknesses in their own networks.
EC-Council is a frontline IT and e-Business certificate-awarding body and the creator of the famous Certified Ethical Hacker and Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator. The council has trained over 80,000 individuals from organisations such as the US Army, the FBI, Microsoft, IBM and the United Nations.
Explaining why the collaboration was necessary, Co-Founder and Enterprise Solutions Architect, GidiNerd, Confidence Staveley says: “It is no longer a question of if a company can be hacked, it is now about dedicating resources to the mitigation and remediation of the cyber plague that is menacing the world today.
EC-Council said: “This partnership allows Gidinerd to provide industry leading, globally recognised credentials such as ANSI, Accredited Certified Ethical Hacker , Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator and Certified Network Defender ; which are highly valued by employers in Nigeria, as it is globally.”
This partnership will make it easier for organisations to enrol IT personnels, Auditors, Security Professionals, Network and Site administrators through GidiNerd for any EC-Council certification program thereby empowering them with the skills needed for the industry.Related
