HONG KONG, Feb. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- (ISC)² – the world's largest nonprofit association of certified cybersecurity professionals – today announced an expansion of its strategic partnership with NTT Advanced Technology Corporation (NTT-AT), which will bring more local-language cybersecurity training to Japan. Now recognized as an Official Training Provider (OTP) of (ISC)², NTT-AT offers public training on the official Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), helping to strengthen cloud security capabilities of organizations throughout Japan. The CCSP certification will also be required for certain security roles within NTT-AT.

"NTT-AT is committed to bringing top quality cloud and cybersecurity training to Japan in order to help build a safe and secure cyber environment," said George Kimura, Chief Executive Officer, at NTT-AT. "Our collaboration with (ISC)² enables us to provide official training to support a strong and skilled workforce."

In addition to cultivating advanced security experts, NTT-AT is focused on developing highly value-added security services and related products in order to support NTT Group's businesses.

NTT-AT previously adopted the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification for functions within its organization in 2018 in addition to supporting its employees in obtaining the CISSP using official courseware from (ISC)². Working with the NTT Secure Platform Laboratories, NTT-AT also translated the Official (ISC)² Guide to the CISSP CBK into Japanese, making additional localized content available to the cybersecurity community in Japan.
