Bulk Holdings Group Unveils AWS Cloud Security Training Program
In a significant development for cybersecurity in Japan, Bulk Holdings Group, through its subsidiary CyberGym Japan, is set to launch the "AWS Cloud Security Training" program in September 2025. This initiative aims to bolster cybersecurity measures for AI data centers and cloud computing services, addressing a pressing need in today's technological landscape.
Cloud computing has become a vital infrastructure, facilitating service development and enhancing operational efficiency across various sectors. However, as adoption has grown, so have the security risks associated with cloud environments. Companies increasingly require advanced knowledge and skills to mitigate these threats effectively.
Recognizing these challenges, CyberGym Japan has crafted a comprehensive training program focusing on the widely used AWS (Amazon Web Services) platforms in Japan. Leveraging a unique simulated AWS environment, this training emphasizes practical strategies for addressing cyber threats encountered in cloud infrastructure. It is designed to equip organizations using AWS with the necessary tools to confront security challenges and ensure safe, reliable cloud operations.
Training Overview
The AWS Cloud Security Training spans two days and will be held at various CyberGym arenas across Japan, as well as offered online. It targets AWS-utilizing security operations teams, incident response (IR) teams, and IT security personnel. Although pricing details will be provided upon inquiry, the curriculum will ensure participants acquire foundational knowledge in AWS security concepts, management tools, and various security protocols.
Training will include hands-on exercises where participants will analyze network traffic and intrusion, culminating in a comprehensive simulation where they will encounter real-world attack methodologies as defined by the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Such exercises are crucial for developing rapid response capabilities to security incidents and reinforcing the security posture of businesses' cloud operations, thereby supporting their sustainable growth.
Aligning with Cybersecurity Demand
In light of escalating cyberattacks affecting a spectrum of organizations—including governmental agencies, local municipalities, public institutions, corporations, and healthcare facilities—there is a pronounced urgency for skilled cybersecurity professionals. Reports indicate a significant shortfall of approximately 110,000 personnel capable of addressing these cyber threats in Japan.
The growing awareness and concern surrounding cybersecurity have catalyzed an increased demand for organizational response training. Consequently, there is a robust trend towards educating in-house staff at beginner to intermediate levels about cybersecurity awareness, enabling them to undertake preventative measures and initial responses effectively.
Additionally, while there is a push to develop internal cybersecurity competency, many organizations are also engaging external experts with specialized knowledge to bolster security for their critical systems and information assets. This dual approach is propelling the enhancement of cybersecurity frameworks at an accelerated pace.
As the landscape evolves, the necessity for enterprises and individuals to attain advanced cybersecurity knowledge—ranging from basic to expert levels—is expected to grow significantly. CyberGym Japan is committed to providing educational programs that not only impart knowledge but also cultivate the capability to respond effectively through practical training formats.
By investing in the 'AWS Cloud Security Training', Bulk Holdings Group aims to significantly contribute to the resilience of Japan's cybersecurity ecosystem, ensuring that they are not just informed but prepared to face the myriad challenges of the growing digital landscape. This initiative is part of a broader strategy, alongside their partnership with Data Section, to fortify the cybersecurity measures surrounding AI data centers and cloud services throughout their organizational framework, enhancing the overall security landscape in Japan.
With this strategic launch, Bulk Holdings Group is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of cybersecurity education in the region, thus supporting the seamless integration and safe operation of cloud solutions in business practices.
