Parity enters cyber-warfare training partnership with
CyberGym
Partnership wins place on Northern Ireland Co-Operation Overseas
(NI.CO)
Parity (AIM: PTY) announces a strategic partnership agreement
with CyberGym ("Partnership") offering a global network of
cyber-warfare preparedness training for governments and private
enterprises.
The partnership has won a place on the NI.CO Cyber Security
Training Services Framework to provide consultancy and recruitment
support in Northern Ireland. While no immediate value on future
contracts can be confirmed, the total NI.CO framework agreement has
a drawdown value of GBP2bn over the course of 10 years. The Cyber
Security Training Services Framework is an unspecified subtotal of
the overall framework.
Matthew Bayfield, CEO of Parity, said:
"Our partnership with CyberGym puts Parity at the forefront of
defence training for our public and private enterprise clients in
cyber warfare security. The global pandemic has heightened the risk
of cyber-attack at all levels and especially as home working
exposes data that requires additional security measures that must
be introduced across a wide range of institutions where regulators
are demanding new compliance measures.
Parity is now in a position to immediately offer our clients a
comprehensive set of data management skills to help them keep ahead
of all their data challenges."
Mr Tim Vincent, CEO of CyberGym UK, said:
"This partnership offers protection to high level targets in the
public services, utility organisations and governments by
delivering training and testing, already adopted and trusted by
governments around the world. CyberGym's cloud based Virtual Cloud
Arena complements their global network of physical training centres
and mean that in the continuing lock down we are able to offer the
unique emulation training to employees wherever they may be. The
consultancy and resources provided by Parity in the growing and
increasingly important cyber security sector are entirely
complementary and enhance the service currently provided to their
clients."
