Tesserent Academy recognised as accredited training organisation by ISACA

The ISACA has recognised the training initiatives of Australia’s largest cyber security organisation, Tesserent, as an accredited training organisation (ATO).

Tesserent Academy and ALC Training is the first ISACA Elite Plus Partner in Australia/Asia-Pacific region to be recognised as an ATO, reflecting the Thales Australia-owned organisation’s dedication to providing high-quality, consistent outcomes for up-and-coming cyber security professionals and strengthening their qualifications in an industry facing a workforce shortage.

“The accredited training program ensures consistent and effective training content and delivery that helps meet global demand by creating a strong pool of highly qualified ISACA trainers,” wrote ISACA vice president of product management Tanya Rose.

“This program helps professionals worldwide have better access to ISACA’s globally recognised certifications.”
