As digital adoption continue to rise, the need of cybersecurity landscape has evolved significantly, and huge demand for skilled security professionals. To address this skills gap and empower India’s workforce for a career in cybersecurity, Microsoft launched a first of its kind cybersecurity skilling program that aims to skill over 1 lakh learners by 2022.

The program is designed to give learners hands-on experience in the fundamentals of security, compliance, and identity. Microsoft will conduct these courses along with its strategic consortium of partners including Cloudthat, Koenig, RPS, and Synergetics Learning. The course modules are designed to support all levels of learners, regardless of where they are in their cybersecurity journey.

Microsoft has introduced four new security, compliance, and identity certifications, of which the accredited certification for Fundamentals will be offered at zero-cost for any individual who attends the associated training through this initiative. Additionally, in collaboration with its partners, Microsoft, offers learners deeply discounted offers on the rest of the advanced role-based certifications to drive deep skills for addressing cybersecurity challenges.
