Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 20: A landmark initiative to build a future-ready global workforce of cybersecurity professionals through applied, certification-based learning designed to secure the digital world.
In another major step toward redefining the realm of professional education, now in cybersecurity and digital risk; Vantage Knowledge Academy Ltd, a BSE-listed global leader in professional education, has tied up with Cyber Skillsphere Pvt Ltd, a leading firm specializing in cybersecurity, digital forensics, and AI.
This collaboration will give rise to a structured multi-level certification program in cybersecurity auditing and assurance, designed to meet the growing need for applied, industry-ready professionals in both the public and private sectors. The program is centred around the theme:
“Auditing Beyond Checklists. Securing Beyond Compliance.”
The initiative will be governed by an independent not-for-profit professional jointly managed by both entities. This body will act as the apex certification and standards authority and oversee the development of a skilled, certified cybersecurity workforce and independent professionals across India and globally.
The certification program will address the real-world demands of governance, risk-based, compliance, technical, and operational audits — empowering learners from both technical and non-technical backgrounds to emerge as immediately employable professionals and independent auditors, ready to handle complex digital challenges across industries.
