Learners earn one credit for every hour of NSE Training Institute training they do with Fortinet.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Increasing Access to Cybersecurity Knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the pandemic led to the exponential increase of <a href=\"https:\/\/firstorion.ae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teleworkers<\/a>, the need for securing remote networks and users became a top priority for organizations. IT teams already challenged with finding security professionals due to the skills gap were faced with an even greater need for expertise to securely transition to a remote workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way Fortinet responded to this need was by opening its entire <a href=\"https:\/\/training.fortinet.com\/?utm_source=pr&amp;utm_campaign=2019-q3-nse-institute\">Network Security Expert (NSE) Training Institute<\/a>catalogue of self-pacedcourses free of charge in April 2020.
