CyberGymIEC Collaborates edForce for Cybersecurity Training in India
CyberGymIEC, headquartered in Caesarea, Israel, has joined hands with edForce, a Bengaluru-based workforce upskilling accelerator, to deliver advanced cybersecurity training programs in India. This collaboration aims to equip IT professionals with practical, hands-on expertise to address the increasing demand for cybersecurity talent in response to escalating global cyber threats.
Addressing the Cybersecurity Skills Gap

NASSCOM projects that India will create 1 million cybersecurity jobs by 2027, but 30% of these roles may remain unfilled due to a skills gap. Furthermore, global cyberattacks are expected to result in financial losses of $10.5 trillion by 2025, highlighting the critical need for skilled professionals to safeguard digital infrastructure and sensitive data.
