INE Security Addresses Critical Cloud Security Challenges with Comprehensive Training for 2025

"The complexity of modern Cloud Infrastructure demands a fundamental shift in how organizations approach security."

INE Security, a leading provider of CyberSecurity and IT training solutions, unveiled its strategic response to emerging Cloud Security challenges in early November, highlighting critical trends for 2025 and beyond. The announcement comes as organizations struggle with increasing Cloud Security risks, from sophisticated supply chain attacks to data loss incidents.

"The complexity of modern Cloud Infrastructure demands a fundamental shift in how organizations approach security," said Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security.
