No need to post "Boredom" as a status update on social media because you can temper a staid stay-at-home experience with free tech courses designed to address the skills gap and an increase in security threats.
The tech company Fortinet is offering self-paced training for technical security and broad cyber awareness, and has started the program with three courses at no cost.
In April, Fortinet said it had a 10-times increase in online registrations for the Network Security Expert Institute training courses that provide essential cybersecurity knowledge.
Fortinet is making 24 advanced security courses available free, which cover topics ranging from Secure SD-WAN, public cloud security, and secure access, among others, and the majority of courses are from the official Network Security Expert curriculum.
"Fortinet leveraged existing curriculum from Fortinet's Network Security Expert Institute's training program for the free courses. Those courses have been free for Fortinet partners but now we're extending this offering by making all online courses available at no cost for anyone interested, building on our investments to close the skills gap."
