INE Marks 20 Years of IT Training Excellence

(Cary, NC) INE , a global leader in lab-centered cybersecurity, networking, and cloud training, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary this month, marking two decades of delivering professional technical training to IT and cybersecurity professionals. INE has grown from a small start-up in Reno, Nevada to a trailblazing and engaging hands-on technical training solution for organizations globally. “We are so proud to be celebrating our 20th anniversary,” said Dara Warn, INE’s CEO. “And doing it with the foundation that built this organization. We believe in the power of expert instruction and market-leading hands-on learning. Our platform connects practitioners with experts, allowing them to practice what they are learning, from the latest cybersecurity vulnerabilities to cloud infrastructure to installing new networks. This formula for success means that organizations, and the practitioners within them, can feel secure in the delivery of their systems and protocols.” INE was founded by a small group of IT practitioners who realized more robust study methods were needed to find success with the difficult-to-achieve CCIE certification, Cisco’s flagship expert-level networking certification. INE was built on the belief that hands-on training combined with the flexibility of self-paced learning was the most effective way to learn and be prepared to execute with expertise on the job. INE’s Co-founder, 4x CCIE, and current Director of Networking Content Brian McGahan set a practical learning standard in the earliest days of the company, and remains instrumental in making the hands-on experience a cornerstone of INE’s training. INE has stayed ahead of training needs by creating opportunities for organizations to have a one-stop-shop for maturing and upskilling technologists. Through investments in infrastructure and new technologies, INE has become synonymous with hands-on learning for in-demand training programs industry-wide. Acquisitions including eLearnSecurity and Pentester Academy enabled INE to blend emerging cybersecurity technologies with proven training success. This growth allowed INE to build a powerful lab platform that is accessible, scalable, and affordable; expanding its training offerings into a one-stop-shop for organizations and IT professionals to upskill, reskill, and cross-skill across networking and cybersecurity departments. In the coming weeks, INE will release highly sought after features and products, like skill assessments for teams and additional hands-on practice platforms, in conjunction with the marking of its 20th anniversary.

New INE Cybersecurity Certification Takes Aim at Closing Critical Cyber Skills Gap

(Cary, NC) A crippling skills gap continues to impact the Information Technology industry worldwide. As a result, security breaches have become increasingly widespread, making every business vulnerable. Over the past year, more than 80% of organizations fell victim to a security breach, according to a 2023 Fortinet report. In light of the alarming trends, public and private sectors are actively building innovative tools to address and overcome the skills gap. INE, the leading global provider of technical training for IT and cybersecurity professionals, is among the companies spearheading the effort to upskill and cross-skill cyber teams, equipping them with the necessary skills to combat emerging cybersecurity threats. INE recently released a groundbreaking new certification, the Enterprise Defense Administrator (eEDA), a blue team certification that tests users’ ability to effectively secure an organization’s mission critical resources to ensure seamless business operations. Blue team continues to be a critical area for SOCs defending against adversaries. In building this exam, INE heard from global business partners repeatedly about an increased need for specialized certifications that both validate skills and can be utilized to identify training and upskilling opportunities like security engineers. The eEDA certification is the first of its kind in the industry, combining an enterprise defense-focused exam with elements of yellow team instruction to upskill engineers into cybersecurity roles. This unique yellow team element makes the eEDA the first of its kind in the industry, and prepares cybersecurity and engineering professionals to be more aligned as partners on the front lines of defense. “We identified an industry-wide challenge, with a growing percentage of companies unable to adequately defend themselves against cyber threats because teams lack access to updated training,” said Dara Warn, INE’s CEO. “We designed this certification specifically to address that gap in cybersecurity defensive operations. By leveraging our immersive, hands-on learning technology and expert instruction, we are able to offer cyber professionals a new way to train, test, and apply their skills to help organizations build elite cyber defense postures.” For more information on the eEDA, click here.
