NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- International cyber education leader, Cybint is building on its success in the United States and EMEA by establishing its Asia presence in Singapore. The company plans to further expand in the region in 2020.
The Singapore office will deliver the company's state-of-the-art cybersecurity learning, training and simulation solutions to organizations throughout the Asia-Pacific markets. Cybint's offerings include its military-grade Cyber Boot Camp program, advanced online cyber training platform, and simulated cyber challenges for every level.
To support its growth in Asia, Cybint has secured funding from CES Education Pte. Ltd. (CES Education), which was provided through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CES EduTech Pte.

"Cybint's Asia expansion comes amidst an environment in which the region suffers from a critical shortage of cybersecurity professionals and expertise," said Roy Zur, Cybint Founder & CEO. "The establishment of our Asia office will help meet the region's need for increased cybersecurity proficiency and skills, and we're excited to offer a strong team of experts and relevant, real-life-oriented training to support both professionals and organizations. We look forward to further expansion both in that region and our other locations in 2020."
According to Mr. Tan Tee How, executive director of CES Corporation, "CESE believes that the need for cybersecurity literacy and specialised cybersecurity professionals will continue to grow with the ongoing digitisation of the global economy, and investing in the education and training solutions and services in cybersecurity developed by Cybint will allow the company to enter the growing area of cybersecurity within the education business segment."
