CHANTILLY, Va., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Engility Holdings,
Inc. (NYSE: EGL), in partnership with the Center for Cyber Safety
and Education, awarded four new cybersecurity training and
certification scholarships. The scholarship program provides
military veterans with career development opportunities in order to
help meet the national need for qualified cybersecurity
professionals.
The Fall 2018 class consists of four U.S. Army veterans:
- Calasancio S. Fernandes from San
Antonio, Texas
- Carlos Goveo from Scottsdale, Arizona
- Alexander Hardy from
Indianapolis, Indiana
- Bobby Swan from Belton, Texas
"I am proud to welcome the Fall 2018 CyberWarrior class into
this key program," said Lynn Dugle,
Engility CEO, chairman and president. "The challenges facing our
country require their skill, discipline and dedication."
The scholarship program is open to military veterans honorably
discharged from one of the five branches of the military by
October 26, 2018, or those currently
serving as active members in the National Guard or Reserves. The
scholarships include everything the recipients need to prepare to
become certified for a career in cybersecurity, including training
classes, textbooks and materials and exam vouchers for the
(ISC)2® certification of their choice.
At the end of the training, the veterans will have enhanced
opportunities to secure cybersecurity jobs with highly technical
cyber skill sets, such as security analyst, security engineer,
security auditor and security architect. The program focuses on six
(ISC)² certifications: Certified Information Systems Security
Professional (CISSP®), Certified Secure Software Lifecycle
Professional (CSSLP®), Certified Cloud Security Professional
(CCSP®), HealthCare Information Security and Privacy Practitioner
(HCISPP®), Certified Authorization Professional (CAP®) and Systems

help veterans so they can quickly step into those key roles as they
transition back to civilian life."
