Cisco will continue public-private partnerships. Chuck Robbins, Cisco’s CEO, announced that Cisco are doubling investments in Networking Academy, with a commitment to educate another 10 million people in the next five years to work and thrive in the digital economy
At Cisco, making a difference and improving lives around the world has been core to who we are for over 30 years. We have consistently leveraged our technology to solve real business and social problems, and ultimately to build bridges to new possibilities. It is this mission that has driven us to establish our Networking Academy program, which for more than 20 years has been providing IT training, preparing students around the world for entry-level jobs, career transitions, and professional certification. More than 9 million students in 180 countries have participated in Networking Academy thus far, and the number continues to grow.

Very often we are talking to organisations interested in the Networking Academy program. It is important to note that NetAcad is an educational publisher, concerned with issues that are different from commercial aspirations:
Cisco Networking Academy is not commercial
All goals, activities and learning materials are relevant for the Future Workforce.
NetAcad does not focus on products, but rather on ideas, concepts, methods, competences and skills.
Cisco Systems & Cisco Learning are commercial
Cisco Learning focuses on professional certifications and on specific product knowledge.
Cisco Academies do not compete with commercial Cisco Partners. The goals as well as the course materials are completely different.

From now until June 2019 Cisco’s DevNet and Networking Academy have teamed up again for another webinar series because of the high interest from last year's series. In our ever changing technology landscape, it only makes sense to revisit a few sessions from last year and share the latest details as well as feature a whole new set of topics. Join the webinars for conversations about network programmability, security, SDN and network controllers, Python, and many other related topics.

A new course called IoT Security will be available soon. With BiASC we are currently evaluating this course, which is still under limited availability.
What is IoT Security about?
Security is one of the key pillars in the forces of digital disruption that enable digital transformation in every industry. At the same time, the enormous increase of connected IoT devices is not only enabling the digitization of industries, but also increases the landscape of possible security threats. The IoT Security course provides the learner with introductory skills to perform Vulnerability and Risk Assessments on IoT solutions in a specific business context. Students who complete the IoT Security course will be able to assess, research, and provide risk mitigation strategies for common security vulnerabilities in IoT systems. Students seeking a career in the rapidly growing IoT and Security domains will learn practical tools for evaluating security vulnerabilities in IoT solutions, perform threat modeling, and use risk management frameworks to recommend threat mitigation measures.
Research practice and ethical hacking
As in the CyberOperations course students have to accept the ethical hacking agreement.
One of the practice labs is with Shodan explained on the SANS Penetration Testing Website. Also Kali Linux will be used.
Shodan is a search engine that takes a distinct departure from most Internet search engines. Instead of searching through content intentionally served up and delivered to web browsers, Shodan allows us to search for Internet-connected devices.

Next Steps
If instructors in Belgium are interested, we will organise an IoT Security initial traning between October and December 2018. Please send a mail to <yvan@biasc.be> if you would like to receive more information

Opening your mind to emerging technologies Cisco Networking Academy is more than Routing & Switching. Digitization is changing the world: everything becomes connected, everything becomes software-based, everything generates data, everything can be automated, everything needs to be secured. We are offering you two new online courses to stay on top of the emerging technologies:
As always, Cisco Netacad courses lay a solid conceptual foundation, but at the same time the courses and workshops are very practical as well.
The Digital Transformation is impacting all major industries. 75% of businesses will become digital by 2020. Digital technologies and new business models are impacting the way things are being done. Digitization is also transforming networking. Even if 75% of businesses will become digital by 2020, only 30% of digitization efforts will be successful.
The following sectors are undergoing rapid changes:
EMERGING TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOPS
Cisco Networking Academy has produced workshops for students and instructors in order to prepare them and make them comfortable with intimidating new ideas, concepts and skills.

“Most higher education institutions seek to prepare their graduates to be ‘work ready,’ so it’s no surprise that many of them have incorporated Linux-related content into their curriculum.
Red Hat Academy provides a curriculum to help education institutions keep pace with the demands of industry. The curriculum involves hands-on instruction across platform, middleware, and cloud technologies built with input from Red Hat development, support, and field consulting teams. Unlike a generic “distribution agnostic” Linux curriculum, Red Hat’s curriculum is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the leading enterprise Linux platform. Rather than learning theoretical skills, students learn practical skills based on use cases from thousands of enterprise implementations.
