Malaysia’s Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCoE) expands curriculum with self-paced training for civil servants through EC-Council’s advanced learning platform<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BlackBerry Limited and EC-Council<\/a>, a global leader in cybersecurity certifications and learning technology announced a new partnership that will offer government employees nationwide with increased access to cybersecurity training and certifications through the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCoE) in Malaysia. The collaboration supports Malaysia’s pioneering efforts to boost human cyber capital and strengthen the nation’s defences against growing digital threats, equipping government employees with advanced, industry-relevant skills through flexible learning modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In collaboration with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the partnership will further expand the CCoE Cybersecurity Curriculum, which already offers a wide range of globally recognised course offerings and certifications. With the addition of the cutting-edge EC-Council Learning (ECL) platform<\/a>, one of the world’s most advanced cloud-based cybersecurity education ecosystems, the CCoE is expanding self-paced online and in-person learning for Malaysian civil servants, helping more men and women to upskill and complete courses in their own time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In support of the Malaysian government’s commitment to cybersecurity capacity building, the addition of EC-Council Learning marks a significant evolution of the CCoE’s curriculum, enhancing its existing programs with a robust, cloud-based platform to bolster government workforces with world-class skills and qualifications as cyber threats escalate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaclyn Sim, Cybersecurity Training Manager for BlackBerry at the Malaysia Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, said, “BlackBerry’s partnership with EC-Council represents a meaningful step forward in the shared mission to build a cyber resilient Malaysia. The initiative builds upon the CCoE’s extensive curriculum of online and in-person training, with an advanced, flexible platform that empowers civil servants to learn anytime, anywhere. Together with MCMC, we remain committed to upskilling and encouraging a culture of continuous learning across the public sector.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay Bavisi, Founder and CEO of EC-Council added, “At the heart of this partnership is a shared mission between EC-Council, BlackBerry and the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence to build a cyber-resilient Malaysia by placing trusted, modern cyber learning tools in the hands of every civil servant.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the initiative, Malaysian civil service professionals will gain access to a full spectrum of programs aligned with national digital ambitions, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
