Cynomi, the leading vCISO platform provider for MSPs and MSSPs, has launched the first online vCISO Academy, a free, comprehensive professional learning hub designed to support service providers in establishing or expanding their vCISO services. The Academy equips managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs) with the knowledge, tools, and training needed to meet the growing demand for strategic cybersecurity services, addressing one of the most pressing challenges in the cybersecurity landscape today.
As cyberattacks on small and medium-sized businesses continue to rise, the need for expert security guidance has never been more important. Cynomi’s vCISO Academy offers essential resources to help service providers effectively integrate virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services into their offerings. By bridging the gap between what SMBs need and what MSPs currently offer, the vCISO Academy will play a vital role in improving cybersecurity practices across a wide range of industries.
"As cyberattacks increase in number and complexity, SMBs are facing a growing need for expert guidance to protect their businesses," said David Primor, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Cynomi. "Our vCISO Academy empowers MSPs and MSSPs to step up and meet this demand, providing them with the tools and resources they need to deliver the high-level security services their customers require."
The launch of the vCISO Academy aligns with the findings of the recent 2024 State of the Virtual CISO Report by Cynomi, which shows a rapidly growing market for vCISO services. According to the report, 94% of MSPs and MSSPs recognize the rising demand for vCISO services, with 98% of those not currently offering them planning to launch such services in the future. 74% of service providers expect to offer vCISO services by the end of 2025, underscoring the momentum behind this cybersecurity trend.
The vCISO Academy plays a key role in Cynomi's mission to ensure that every organization, regardless of size, has access to CISO-level cybersecurity expertise. By empowering MSPs and MSSPs with the necessary skills and knowledge to offer vCISO services, the Cynomi vCISO Academy is helping service providers meet the security needs of a broader client base. This initiative supports Cynomi’s larger vision of creating a more secure business ecosystem, where advanced cybersecurity practices are accessible to all.
