According to Information Age, a key IT trend for 2019 is the global shortage of cybersecurity skills in the workplace. In fact, in its 2019 IT Security Employment Outlook report, eSecurity Planet estimates there is a shortfall of 3 million IT security professionals worldwide. Security training for IT professionals, regardless of their area of specialization, can help to close this skills gap.

Citrix Education has developed a brand-new, advanced course — CWS-315: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Administration — that emphasizes security skills for on-premises and cloud virtualization environments, such as:

  • Multi-factor and federated authentication
  • Application and data security
  • Security for machines running the Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA)
  • Security considerations for multi-site management using zones

The five-day, instructor-led course for experienced Citrix professionals devotes several modules to security issues.
