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.”

“Tesserent Academy and ALC Training are part of the broader Tesserent and Thales cyber solutions group and a leading provider of cyber security services in Australia and New Zealand,” added the managing partner of Tesserent Academy and ALC Training, Andrew Shea.

“The mission statement of the Tesserent Academy is to be the pre-eminent provider of cyber security education in the Asia-Pacific region,” wrote an ALC company announcement.

“ALC, with its very strong background of nearly 30 years in information and cyber security training, will provide Tesserent Academy with an immediate and commanding position in this sector.

“By joining Tesserent, ALC will have access to a much greater range of resources, which will lead to many new opportunities and significantly increased growth potential.
