CPX Holding announced a strategic partnership with ISC2, the world’s nonprofit member organisation for cybersecurity professionals. The collaboration aims to advance cybersecurity skills and workforce development by providing professionals with access to industry-recognised certifications and training programmes.
In response to the growing cybersecurity skills gap across the MENA region, the partnership offers a timely and strategic solution, empowering organisations and governments to build a robust pipeline of skilled professionals equipped to meet the demands of an increasingly digital and AI-driven future.
By combining CPX’s deep-rooted expertise in cybersecurity with ISC2’s globally trusted workforce education and certification framework, the partnership will support both public and private sector enterprises to strengthen their security training, cyber resilience and workforce readiness.
ISC2 has long been at the forefront of cybersecurity education, partnering with academic institutions, governments, and enterprises worldwide to deliver robust training programmes and certification pathways. CPX will expand access to these resources across the MENA region through this initiative, helping to cultivate the next generation of cybersecurity professionals equipped to address emerging challenges.
