Auckland — April 21, 2021 — LogRhythm, the company powering today’s security operations centres (SOCs), today announced that Chillisoft has been appointed the company’s first Certified Training Partner globally.

“Strategically, this certification gives the Chillisoft business in Australia and New Zealand massive benefits at the channel and end-user level, and significantly increases our capacity and our capabilities to meet local demand for robust upskilling in cybersecurity skills,” said Alex Teh, Chillisoft CEO. “We are thrilled that our expert knowledge and strong investment in LogRhythm have been recognized with this training accreditation.”
LogRhythm’s customer training programs provide extensive foundational product training for security administrators and analysts to build their knowledge and expertise.

A recent international survey by Robert Half found that almost a third (32%) of CIOs and CTOs said IT cybersecurity skills have become the most difficult to find skill since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, Australia and New Zealand continue to suffer from a longstanding and well-documented skills shortfall in the cyber-security sphere. Aust Cyber research suggests that Australia will be short 18,000 cyber-security experts by 2026. Restrictions on international movements imposed to stop the spread of the COVID virus have exacerbated the problem in both countries.
Simon Howe, Vice President Sales Asia Pacific, LogRhythm, said, “The pressure on today’s security teams is immense, and we are fully committed to supporting them. We’ve spent the past year strengthening and expanding our training and certification program to enhance the ability of channel partners and resellers to be on the front foot when it comes to cybersecurity posture. We now look forward to deepening our partnership with the recognized expert team at Chillisoft to ensure that our customers can be best upskilled and protected from current and future cybersecurity threats.”
