Overview
Launched in April 2022, the Fortinet Security Awareness and Training service helps organizations improve their security posture when it comes to the risks posed by cyberattacks. Aligned with NIST 800-50 and NIST 800-16 guidelines, it was developed by the Fortinet Training Institute, which provides certification and training in the growing field of cybersecurity. This SaaS-based platform delivers up-to-date training on contemporary cyber threats.
Enterprise Edition: Fortinet is committed to making the service free (standard licensing) to any organization with 25 or fewer employees, across both the public and private sectors. These smaller organizations, which are often challenged by a lack of dedicated IT staff and security expertise, will benefit from the new service and its comprehensive, easy-to-use design.
Education Edition: Free Security Awareness Education
As part of Fortinet’s commitment to train 1 million people by 2026, the Fortinet Training Institute has created an education-focused version of its Security Awareness and Training service and has made it available for free to primary and secondary schools. This version comprises:
• Security Awareness Curriculum for the Classroom: developed by teachers, for teachers, to build students’ cyber skills, with age-appropriate lessons for learners aged four to 18
• Security Awareness and Training for Educational Staff: online, modular training and awareness tailored specifically to the needs of schools and schools systems
• Administrative Platform: An intuitive dashboard and toolset providing administrators with easy-to-use functionalities for managing and reporting on cybersecurity training campaigns.
The Education Edition has been made available in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and Brazil. Initially launched through the White House National Cyber Workforce and Education Summit. Fortinet will continue to expand globally as language options become available.
