How Reliance acsn accelerate their Cyber Security training with Firebrand Apprenticeships
Reliance acsn is a Digital and Cyber Security service provider that plans, structures, deploys, tests, and manages IT security infrastructure.
Reliance acsn currently manages over 1,000 security devices for more than 80 customers across five continents, with clients spanning multiple sectors including banking, telecoms, retail, government, insurance, and leisure.
To ensure Reliance employees receive the latest Cyber Security training, the company took on seven Cyber Security apprentices through Firebrand.
Fixing the Cyber skills gap
Cyber Security is a top business concern; despite this, there are not enough trained professionals to deal with these threats.
To solve this problem, Reliance acsn choose to take on apprentices, as this is a great way to hire employees early, nurture them in the company culture, and help them develop the most up-to-date skills the business needs.
Reliance acsn has already started reaping the benefits of hiring Firebrand apprentices. The apprenticeship enables the employees to be trained whilst they work, so they can begin proactively helping on projects as well as shadowing senior members to learn about the business.
The company chose our Cyber Security Apprenticeships to ensure they train people with a passion for IT security and a desire to help sustain the industry.
The Apprenticeship also encourages other employees and the business in general to keep up-to-speed with the latest data and updates.
Reliance acsn CEO, John Madelin told us, “Cyber Security is more important than ever. We’ve realised the value of creating an Apprenticeship scheme, as it allows us to develop the best talent in an industry that currently has a large skills gap. Our Cyber apprentices are already actively contributing to projects and will continue to develop their skills throughout the programme.”
“We’re really pleased with the support from Firebrand throughout the whole process.
Firebrand is continuously in touch through the portal and following up to make sure all our apprentices are doing well. The accelerated training also means the apprentices have minimal time away from their desks and learn the new skills as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
