The digital transformation of the economy and society places particularly high demands on cybersecurity. To help address the need for cybersecurity professionals, in February 2019, Cisco announced the launch of a training program for ICT professionals in the field of cybersecurity in Switzerland. Called CyberSecurity Academy, the initiative is part of Cisco\u2019s comprehensive, long-term strategy to support nation-wide digitization in Switzerland. The curriculum is provided in cooperation with Cisco Learning Partner Fast Lane, and in particular helps graduates to prepare for the Swiss Federal Certificate for Cyber Security Specialists, by ICT Berufsbildung Schweiz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"testimonial__author\">Bremtane Moudjeb<\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"testimonial__author_job\">Head of Cybersecurity, Cisco Switzerland\n                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                                    <span class=\"testimonial__quote\">\n                                        <svg width=\"60\" height=\"45\" viewBox=\"0 0 60 45\" fill=\"none\"\n                                            xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                                            <path\n                                                d=\"M34.48 44.96L43.92 23.2L35.68 22.4V0H59.36V19.76L43.28 44.96H34.48ZM0 44.96L9.28 23.2L1.12 22.4V0H24.72V19.76L8.64 44.96H0Z\"\n                                                fill=\"#E1251B\" \/>\n                                        <\/svg>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                    <h3 class=\"testimonial__title\">Cybersecurity can be called a natural fit to the Swiss culture.<\/h3>\n                                    <div class=\"testimonial__text\"><p>We all like top quality and we strive for the best solutions that modern engineering can provide.
