Given the global shortage of digital workers, especially in Cyber Security, we spend time and effort in ensuring our staff get the training they need to do their jobs, keeping their knowledge and skills up to date and progressing their careers. Three members of my team have also undertaken the CISSP course and all three of them got themselves certified as well.

The course has given me an appreciation for how people in the private sector and other government agencies handle various situations; this includes governance and playbooks for security incidents. We also shared knowledge and experiences on tools and dealing with various third-party suppliers. My network of colleagues is a little wider now due to the training.

Furthermore, I feel better equipped to advise other staff on the various certification paths available in cyber security as well.
