TSYS School's Educational Partnership with INE Security Highlighted by Forbes Magazine

A recent report by Forbes reporter Dara Warn describes the increasing demand for cybersecurity professionals in the U.S., which has led colleges and universities to create new academic programs related to this branch of computer science. Part of this evolution, according to the report, is partnerships between colleges/universities and cybersecurity training companies. One of two such partnerships described by Warn is our own TSYS School's partnership with INE Security, an IT services and consulting firm headquartered in Cary, North Carolina. INE's portfolio of technical education opportunities focuses advanced networking technologies, next-generation security, and infrastructure programming/development. INE's partnership with the TSYS School has assisted 122 cybersecurity Nexus students in earning a Junior Penetration Tester (eJPT) certification (at a 100% pass rate) and exiting the cybersecurity Nexus program with 87% employment within the first month of completion.
