In this article we will discuss Cisco’s plan, their partnership with Randstad and the benefits that this plan will bring..

Cisco’s Plan

Cisco Systems has announced a plan to train 10 million people in digital and cybersecurity skills over the next 10 years across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). This is part of a larger effort to train 25 million people worldwide in digital literacy and cybersecurity. The goal for EMEA is part of Cisco’s global commitment to empower individuals with digital skills for long-term success. The State of Broadband 2022 report estimates that 66% of the population will have access to broadband by 2022, representing 5.3 billion people. In 2020, the first year of this initiative, Cisco launched its Networking Academy program which provides free online courses on networking fundamentals and other topics related to IT infrastructure. The program also offers instructor-led training sessions at local schools or universities as well as virtual labs where students can practice their skills in a simulated environment. Cisco’s MDS 9506 Multilayer Director is designed for deployment in storage networks that can support enterprise clouds and other large-scale applications requiring high performance data transfer rates between servers or storage devices. It features advanced security capabilities such as encryption, authentication, authorization and access control lists (ACLs) which help protect against malicious attacks on networks or data centers. In addition to providing training courses online or at local schools/universities, Cisco has also partnered with Randstad Education Group to offer seminars focused on Russian area studies held at Barnaul city in Russia. These seminars are designed to foster interdisciplinary learning by immersing participants into the language culture while teaching them about Russian history and politics through lectures from experts from various fields such as economics, law, sociology etc.. Furthermore, these seminars provide hands-on experience with network maintenance tasks so that schools can have resident know-how for maintaining their networks going forward without relying solely on external consultants or vendors..

Partnering with Randstad

Cisco has partnered with Randstad, a global staffing and recruitment company, to help implement its plan of training 10 million people in digital and cybersecurity skills over the next 10 years across EMEA. Founded in 1997, Cisco Networking is one of the world’s leading providers of IT solutions. The new partnership aims to re-skill and upskill 300,000 people.

Randstad provides Cisco graduates with career coaching, resume writing and brand development services as well as employment opportunities. As the world’s largest HR services provider, Randstad is driven to become the world’s most valued ‘working life partner’, supporting as many people as possible in their working lives.

In China specifically, Randstad offers an HR Training and Consulting Program which integrates professional training resources and helps HR staff create a digital workplace environment. This program will be used by Cisco to help train 10 million people in digital and cybersecurity skills.

Benefits of the Plan

Cisco’s plan to train 10 million people in digital and cybersecurity skills offers twofold benefits. Firstly, it will help improve digital literacy and cybersecurity skills in the regions where it is implemented. This will help protect against cyber-attacks, data breaches, malicious software, and other digital threats. Secondly, it will create jobs and economic opportunities in the regions where it is implemented by providing individuals with valuable technical skills that are highly sought after by employers.

The plan also includes a comprehensive study on current cyber threat environment which provides an embodiment of good cybersecurity practices and recommendations on how to overcome them. A Cisco cybersecurity expert will be available to address security gaps during migration processes as well as provide guidance for consolidation and migration plans.

The Cisco Email Security Configuration and Installation Remote Service helps mitigate security risks by installing, configuring, setting up email policies for users or groups of users, testing your solution for any potential vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.

• Department of Defense missions increasingly are fought in and through the cyber domain. To ensure U.S assets remain secure from potential threats such as malware attacks or data breaches; Cisco’s plan provides a comprehensive approach to training individuals with necessary technical knowledge required to defend against these threats.
