SecureLink, a risk advisory firm based in Dubai announced a new strategic distribution partnership with Circadence – pioneers in hands-on, gamified and self-evaluating online cyber-learning that helps to build cybersecurity skills. Through this partnership, SecureLink aims to provide customers in the Middle East and Africa (META) with an innovative Al-based, next generation cybersecurity learning platform, Project Ares.
The partnership was born out of the market demands and challenges currently facing the cybersecurity community, namely the shortage of skilled professionals who seek hands-on skills training to keep pace with evolving threats. Circadence has responded to these dynamic challenges by delivering its award-winning gamified training and learning platform, Project Ares. The online cyber range learning solution helps cyber operators build and advance in skills and competencies.
Reghu Mohandas, Director – Risk Analytics & Advisory, SecureLink said, “Our relationship with Circadence brings to the region a true Gamified on-demand learning experience like no other. Circadence provides an authentic gamified learning environment which is optimized for offense and defense trainings. Users will love the game-like experience and organizations can greatly improve retention rates while incorporating the “learn by doing” method for their users.
The virtual range environment exercises are reflective of today’s cyberattacks so organizations can better prepare their cyber workforce. These cybersecurity challenges, coupled with a need for remote learning and work-from-home mandates, are touching enterprise, government and higher education customers, and is changing their approach to learning and how they ensure cyber security professionals are positioned for success. In this environment, SecureLink’s expertise and geographical coverage are critical to delivering a superior customer experience through a deep understanding of Circadence’s product and the cybersecurity landscape.
“Our partners are core to everything we do and a critical part of Circadence’s overall SaaS growth strategy,” said Wesley Knee, VP of Marketing and Creative Services. “Through strategic, collaborative relationships we can ensure mutual success by creating better customer experiences and drive greater adoption of the Project Ares cybersecurity platform in the Middle East. We look forward to working closely with SecureLink ME to mutually grow our business.”
