Approaching the end of the year, many businesses might realize they still have remaining funds that need to be utilized. These L&D resources are often classified as “use it or lose it,” indicating they will revert to the general budget if left unspent. In light of this, INE Security has initiated a program to offer guidance to companies on investing in technical training before the end of the fiscal year. This strategic approach not only ensures prudent allocation of remaining budgets but also significantly bolsters the security stance of organizations.

Tackling Training Budgets:

  • Year-End Budget Situation: It’s typical for companies to head towards the year’s conclusion with unutilized funds set aside for training purposes. Failure to expend these resources often leads to their return to general accounts or complete loss, resulting in a missed opportunity for strategic investment.
  • Strategic Allocation: INE Security advocates for utilizing these funds to invest in cybersecurity training for teams, thereby transforming potential wasted resources into a pivotal investment in security and professional growth.
  • Benefits of Leveraging Excess Funds: Proactive expenditure of surplus training budgets can enable organizations to make strategic choices aligned with long-term objectives, enhancing security measures and nurturing a well-informed workforce.

Ways Organizations Can Employ Available Training Budgets:

  • Skill Augmentation: Enhance the team’s skills to combat modern networking, cloud, and cybersecurity threats.
  • Employee Engagement: Invest in employees’ development to elevate morale and retention rates – particularly crucial in a competitive job market where top talents may be lured by other firms.
  • Future-Proofing: Equip teams to tackle future challenges with forward-thinking training schemes.
  • Regulatory Compliance and Standards: Ensure adherence to industry regulations and standards through accredited courses and certifications – fortifying your team for contract bids and forthcoming compliance mandates (CMMC).

“At a time when digital risks are escalating in complexity and frequency, proactive Networking, Cloud, and Cybersecurity training is more vital than ever,” remarked Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security. “We understand that many organizations conclude the year with unspent training budgets. This presents a valuable chance to invest in crucial training, guaranteeing teams are not just prepared but also ahead of the game.”

Businesses stand to gain by immersing in INE Security’s expert-led courses and practical labs crafted to offer real-world experience and comprehensive knowledge in Networking, Cloud, and Cybersecurity. Taking into account the often-underutilized training budgets available at the end of the year, INE Security is extending generous discounts for team training on two-year agreements. This initiative not only aids organizations in optimizing their unspent training funds but also fortifies their long-term security strategies.
