Business Wire
Partnership will provide Global Learning
Exchange students with access to globally recognized cyber security
certification programs.
Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted leader in video
capture, management and streaming solutions, today announced that
its Global Learning Exchange™ (GLX) business, which provides
students around the world with cost-effective, locally supported
access to top-tier online learning solutions, has finalized a
partnership agreement with EC-Council University (ECCU), the
education arm of The International Council of Electronic Commerce
Consultants (EC-Council) and the globally-recognized leader in
cyber security education and technical certification.
This partnership will provide Global Learning Exchange students
with access to an extensive menu of cyber security certifications,
including Certified Ethical Hacker, Certified Network Defender, and
Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator. These certifications are
endorsed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), the Committee
on National Security Systems (CNSS), and other leading security
bodies, ensuring that students who successfully complete their
coursework will enter the market with a widely recognized
credential in one of the world’s fastest-growing job sectors.
Additionally, ECCU certifications are often transferable as course
credits for Bachelors and Masters-level degree programs in cyber
security and computer science.
Sonic Foundry CEO Joe Mozden, Jr. commented, “From day one,
Global Learning Exchange has focused on providing students with
access to future-oriented, career-focused education programs. Cyber
security is one of the fastest-growing fields in the global job
market, and ECCU clearly represents the global standard for cyber
security education. We are thrilled to announce ECCU as an official
Global Learning Exchange partner and we can’t wait to introduce
prospective students to its rich variety of certification
programs.”
ECCU President Lata Bavisi added, “Today’s cyber workforce is
sorely under-resourced. Industry estimates indicate that the number
of unfilled jobs in cybersecurity will continue to increase. By
partnering with GLX, EC-Council University is attempting to help
close this gap by bringing quality education to people and helping
to prepare cyber security professionals and leaders with the skill
sets and in-demand certifications they need.”
Dr. Venus Fisher, Dean and Chief Academic Officer of ECCU,
commented, “EC-Council University’s objective in establishing this
partnership with GLX is to prepare our students to handle the
modern threat landscape that cybersecurity professionals must now
confront, and to ensure that they obtain the credentials needed to
flourish in the cyber workplace. As a university, ECCU is committed
to providing contemporary and relevant online education that will
help our students play a transformative role, and our courses which
prepare our students to earn the much needed and critical
cybersecurity certifications will make a difference for our
students and the organizations they serve.”
Global Learning Exchange™ launched its inaugural program in the
Bahamas in 2022 and is currently focused on partnership development
to support the launch of additional programs in Africa and in
several other emerging markets around the world. Representatives
recently secured a lease for a new hub location in Johannesburg,
South Africa in anticipation of a program launch in the region in
2023-24. Additional information on Global Learning Exchange can be
