Palo Alto Networks Joins Forces with Universities to Nurture Cybersecurity Workforce in Thailand

Palo Alto Networks BANGKOK Nov 27, 2020 at 04:00 PM

BANGKOK, Nov. 27, 2020 – Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with 12 leading local universities who joined the Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Academy, a global initiative that addresses the critical cybersecurity skills gap. Palo Alto Networks will partner with the universities to provide next-generation cybersecurity knowledge for the rapidly changing employment landscape. 

 

The Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Academy provides a comprehensive set of modularized academic and technical courses that match  cybersecurity education and training needs. The courses will provide classroom instruction as well as technical and hands-on lab training, which will equip students with the next-generation cybersecurity knowledge and skills they’ll need to succeed in today’s rapidly changing cyberthreat landscape. Upon completing the course, each student will be eligible as either a Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Associate or Certified Network Security Administrator. 

 

The participating universities include Dhurakij Pundit University, Khon Kaen University, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Mahanakorn University, Mae Fah Luang University, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Rangsit University, Mahidol University, Bangkok University, Thai-Nichi Institute of Technology, and University of Phayao. 

 

Ms. Wannaporn Thephassadin Na Ayutthaya, Secretary-General of the National Digital Economy and Society Committee said: “Cybersecurity has been identified as a critical enabler as the nation pushes towards becoming a digital nation. Addressing the skills and talent shortage in cybersecurity has never been as critical as the world navigates the pandemic period. With the right kind of training and education for enhanced skills in the sector, we believe that this initiative by Palo Alto Networks is a positive move that will help bridge the gap and allow students at various levels to be equipped with relevant knowledge and training that help them make the right career choice in the future.” 

 

Government employees are also eligible to sign up for cybersecurity training through all of the participating universities to help them better identify cyber threats as they increase in frequency, scale, sophistication and severity. “A safer cyberspace is a joint responsibility of the government, businesses, individuals and the community. In today’s digital society, government entities should continue to be upskilled and keep abreast of evolving technologies and best practices, in order to form a safe and prepared nation,” Ms. Wannaporn added.

 

Dr. Tatchapol Poshyanonda, country director for Thailand and Indochina, Palo Alto Networks, said: “Technology digitization and the COVID-19 pandemic are accelerating cybersecurity needs. Cybersecurity training must be prioritized as the sophistication, complexity, and sheer volume of successful cyberattacks increases and threatens our digital way of life. Skills development in youths should be on the national agenda. Private companies, government, and educational institutions should collaborate to ensure that students can fit into the future labor market.”

 

Palo Alto Networks has forged similar academic partnerships with colleges and universities in more than 70 countries in the U.S., South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. It is dedicated to training the next generation of the cybersecurity workforce. For more information, please visit the Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Academy page.

Executive summary: A more secure everywhere

The journey to the cloud is not a linear one, and organizations choose to migrate to the cloud in a multitude of ways and approaches. The resulting complexity is the enemy of security. In fact, according to ESG, “36% of organizations use between 24 to 49 different security products while 19% use more than 50 different products from an assortment of vendors.” All this noise only makes way for more security concerns such as integration issues, misconfigurations, and access control. To overcome this complexity and succeed in the cloud, organizations must demand security solutions that can quickly and effectively scale with changing business needs. Prisma by Palo Alto Networks is the industry’s most complete cloud security offering for today and tomorrow, providing unprecedented visibility into data, assets, and risks across the cloud and delivered with radical simplicity.
