Sababa Security S p A : PARTNERS WITH EC-COUNCIL TO FIGHT THE CYBERSECURITY SKILLS SHORTAGE THROUGH HIGHLY SPECIALISED TRAINING COURSES

Milan, July, 22, 2022 - Sababa Security S.p.A. ("Sababa Security" or the "Company"), a leading Italian operator in the cybersecurity industry providing an integrated and customised offering of products and managed services to protect different IT and OT environments from cyber threats - listed on Euronext Growth Milan - announces a new partnership with EC-Council - the world's largest cyber security training & certification body - aimed at fighting the cybersecurity skills shortage in Italy with highly specialised training courses.

According to the ACN - the National Cybersecurity Agency - Italy needs at least 100,000 experts to meet the demands of companies. However, there are approximately 6,000 cybersecurity professionals today - still too few, especially considering that Italy ranks among the top countries in the world most affected by ransomware.

As talent is hard to find outside, organisations should foster it internally by upskilling their current workforce and ensuring they gain and advance their skillset, since cyber criminals are growing more aggressive. This is where EC-Council and Sababa Security join forces.

Operating in 145 countries, EC-Council has trained and certified over 500,000 information security professionals globally, including specialists from some of the finest organisations around the world such as the US Army, the FBI, IBM, and the United Nations.

Falling among the first 10 Italian partners, Sababa Security will be offering EC-Council's certification courses, including the world-renowned Certified Ethical Hacker CEH focused on the latest commercial-grade hacking tools, techniques, and methodologies used by hackers and information security professionals to lawfully hack an organisation.

"Here at Sababa Security we firmly believe in the technical expertise of the employees. Keeping up to date with tools, techniques and methodologies in the cyber field can really make a difference in the ongoing protection of systems," commented Omar Morando, CTO of Sababa Security, "We are proud of this new partnership with EC-Council, which has been offering world-recognized, top-notch training courses for over 20 years. This strategic collaboration allows us to add an important piece to our training portfolio by including specialised courses with a high technical content."

"The EC-Council group is made up of several entities that all help serve the same goal which is to create a better, safer cyber world through awareness and education. Our Lives are dedicated to the mitigation and remediation of the cyber plague that is menacing the world today", commented Jay Bavisi, President and CEO of EC-Council.
