INE Security is launching an initiative to guide organisations in investing in technical training before the end of the year.
This approach ensures wise expenditure of remaining budgets and significantly strengthens organisational security postures.
Addressing Training Budgets:
- Year-end budget scenario: It’s common for organisations to approach year-end with an unused budget designated for training. If not spent, these funds often return to general accounts or are lost altogether, missing an opportunity for strategic investment.
- Strategic spending: INE Security encourages using these funds to invest in team cybersecurity training, turning what could be wasted resources into a pivotal investment in security and professional development.
- Advantages of utilising surplus funds: Proactively using surplus training budgets can help organisations make strategic decisions that align with long-term goals, improving security protocols and fostering a knowledgeable workforce.
How Organisations Can Utilise Available Training Budgets:
- Skill enhancement: Upgrade the team’s skills to defend against the latest networking, cloud, and cybersecurity threats.
- Employee retention: Invest in employees’ growth to boost morale and retention – especially in a tight job market where your best employees may be lured to other companies.
- Future-proofing: Prepare teams for future challenges with forward-looking training programs.
- Compliance and standards: Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations through accredited courses and certifications – bolstering your team for contract awards and impending compliance requirements (CMMC).
“In a time when digital threats are increasing in both complexity and frequency, proactive Networking, Cloud, and Cybersecurity training is more crucial than ever,” said Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security.
“We recognise that many organisations end the year with a surplus in their training budgets. This is an excellent opportunity to invest in vital training, ensuring teams are not only prepared but are ahead of the curve.”
