Cybint Partners With CyberOps Training Academy to Foster Texan Cybersecurity Talent
- Cyberops Training Academy Will Promote Cybint’s Award-Winning Bootcamp Within the Texan Business Community, Expanding Its Curriculum With More Coding Classes
Cybint, a global cyber education company, partners with CyberOps Training Academy, a Texas continued education and training company, to expand its presence in the Lone Star State. Adding Cybint’s bootcamp to its catalogue of educational programs, CyberOps Training Academy will promote the course in the Texan business community, as well as expand its overall curriculum.
The U.S. government is looking to beef up the nation’s cyber defenses in the wake of a number of high-profile ransomware attacks on American companies, including a massive hack involving software provider SolarWinds. With cybersecurity a top national priority, businesses have amped up their hiring efforts, making thousands of openings in the field available to practitioners across the U.S. Filling those is a struggle, though, with the country facing a major cybersecurity talent shortage—part of a larger global trend.

The company will also expand the course by adding extra classes that will introduce the students to the foundations of programming. The resulting program will be tailored to the specific cybersecurity needs of the San Antonio area, with the first cohort expected to kick off this October and registration opening September 1st!
Cybint’s bootcamp follows the educational strategy utilized in fast-track military training programs. The course covers the latest cybersecurity practices and approaches in a way that puts the focus on practical hands-on training.
