openings for cybersecurity engineers and analysts, a 30-percent increase
over the same period in 2017," said Joe Padin, CompTIA Vice President for U.S. Federal and Education Certification. "CompTIA
is committed to raising awareness about the critical importance of
cybersecurity; to build competencies and skills among cybersecurity

cybersecurity workforce," Padin continued. "We're pleased to work with
Learning Tree as an important strategic partner in this effort."
In
support of Cybersecurity Awareness Month recognized worldwide, Learning
Tree collaborated with industry-recognized organizations to reframe
