ThriveDX, Exclusive Networks Partner to Address the Global Cybersecurity Talent Shortage & Skills Gap
October 2022 by Marc Jacob
ThriveDX and Exclusive Networks announced the expansion of their partnership to deliver end-to-end cybersecurity training and talent solutions to its global network of more than 25,000 partners. The collaboration builds on Exclusive Networks’ participation as a founding partner in the ThriveDX Cyber Talent Hub (CTH), which was announced in July and unites forward-thinking employers and educators to build a sustainable and scalable platform to attract, retain, foster and continuously develop cyber talent.
According to a 2022 Fortinet Cybersecurity Skills Gap study, 60% of organizations struggle to recruit cybersecurity talent, 52% have trouble retaining qualified employees and 67% agree that this talent shortage creates additional risk for their organizations. What’s more, a 2022 ThriveDX Global Cybersecurity Awareness Training Study of 1,900+ CISOs, security leaders and IT professionals found that 65% of those surveyed felt cybersecurity awareness programs need to expand and 87% agreed that combating reducing risk required a combination of informed employees and technology.
With this new expanded collaboration, Exclusive Networks and ThriveDX will work together to advance the state of the human factor in cybersecurity and make progress against the cybersecurity talent and skills shortage. Exclusive Networks will offer ThriveDX’s end-to-end skills and talent solutions to its reseller community through its innovative, on-demand consumption platform X-OD, to help improve the cybersecurity posture of more than 100,000 end customers around the world. The two companies will also continue to work closely together on the design and rollout of the Cyber Talent Hub.
ThriveDX solutions will be immediately available on the Exclusive Networks platform.
