Qualification offensive by alfatraining in the area of IT security

Digitalization offers companies great opportunities, but it also poses some serious risks. German companies are attacked by hackers every day. The latest report from the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) on the state of IT security in Germany states: "The threat in cyberspace is higher than ever before." The digital association Bitkom puts the damage caused by cyber attacks at 203 billion euros. Almost every German company has already been affected by an attack. The International Cyber Security Organization(ISC) states that there is a global shortage of around 3.4 million cyber security specialists. There are hardly any IT security specialists in Germany either. The TÜV association states: "A rapid and determined qualification offensive is necessary at national level, because only with sufficiently highly qualified cyber security experts can digital infrastructures, which form the backbone of our society, be operated securely and reliably."

The training company alfatraining has taken up the cause of this training offensive and has launched a wide range of training courses and original certifications in the field of cyber security.

"The order of the day is to offer top-class qualifications in order to train the urgently needed specialists in Germany. Our aim is to qualify participants for the digital future with the latest know-how and plenty of practical knowledge," says Niko Fostiropoulos, founder and CEO of alfatraining.
