Zscaler, Inc. launched the Zscaler Academic Alliance Program (ZAAP) with the School of Informatics & IT in Temasek Polytechnic (TP) to close the growing cybersecurity skills gap globally. The collaboration aims to equip 600 students by 2026 with knowledge and skills required to work in cybersecurity.

“We are excited about the opportunities that this collaboration with Zscaler will provide our students to deepen their cybersecurity skills, attain valued professional certifications, and develop the confidence to support the industry against cyber threats,” said Tang Ming Fai, the director of the School of Informatics & IT at Temasek Polytechnic.

Students will be allowed to attain certifications in Cybersecurity Fundamentals, Zero Trust Certified Associate, Zscaler for Users – Essentials Certificate, Zero Trust Certification, and Zscaler Digital Transformation Administrator. Zscaler also sponsored discount vouchers for program participants. 

Zscaler will also work with Temasek Polytechnic to assist course completers with job placements and internships with its growing network of partners and customers.

“The cybersecurity skills gap has been a persisting problem across the world and the entire ecosystem must come together to address this. The partnership between private-public sectors is critical in helping the cybersecurity industry be prepared against the unprecedented growth in cyberattacks today,” shared Andreas Hartl, the senior vice president of Asia Pacific & Japan at Zscaler.

In the Asia Pacific region alone, there is a 2.67 million cybersecurity professionals gap, according to the ISC2 2023 Cybersecurity Workforce Study.
