EC-Council and CyberArm Unite to Foster the Growth of Cybersecurity Talent and Facilitate Workforce Development in Riyadh

In response to the expanding threat landscape, EC-Council and CyberArm, KSA, have entered into a strategic alliance to cultivate a security-aware culture.

Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, September 27, 2021 –The tactical initiative between EC-Council and CyberArm aims to support workforce development and to assist businesses in the region to be cyber safe by equipping them with adequate resources and providing cybersecurity training to professionals.

As an EC-Council MSSP partner, CyberArm is dedicated to developing specific industry solutions for organizations to mitigate and manage the security weaknesses in network devices and systems. Through this partnership, CyberArm will provide anti-phishing solutions to mitigate social engineering attacks, phishing solutions with ready-to-use training modules, and preventive controls to ensure organizations and individuals are safe from cyberattacks.

“As our world becomes more connected through advancements in technology, developing a security-aware culture becomes a necessity. Such a culture can be achieved with continuous awareness, training, and education. Our collaborative effort with EC-Council aims to help organizations of all sizes develop their sustainable security-aware culture. EC-Council’s Aware, a security awareness training and phishing solution complete with LMS and gamification module, will be delivered to our customers as a managed service,” says Hasan Jradi, cofounder and CEO of CyberArm.

In response to the collaboration, Jay Bavisi, President and CEO of the EC-Council Group, stated, “Cultivating a security-conscious culture is critical, especially as remote and hybrid work becomes more prevalent. Businesses must encourage innovation and implement robust cybersecurity training strategies to meet the growing demand for a skilled workforce. The protection of digital infrastructure is a shared responsibility for all sectors, and this initiative will strengthen the organization’s position as a reliable security service provider. With this objective, we hope to establish a long-term relationship with CyberArm and make a concerted effort to prevent cyberattacks.”
