We are proud to introduce the Exfil Certified program – a unique certification offering, which not only trains professionals in cutting-edge technology but also cultivates the essential skills necessary to thrive in today’s corporate cybersecurity environments. For too long, the cybersecurity industry has focused only on technical talent, leaving crucial relatability and communication skills behind. This is why so many executives struggle to understand what their security teams are doing, leading to mistrust, and bad security choices. We’re here to change that. Meet Exfil Certified, a designation that assures you that not only is your security professional of top caliber technically, they’re able to explain what was necessary, why they did it, and what the impact is to your organization, with clarity and precision.

Combining technical training with coaching and mentoring, our program recognizes that a successful security consultant doesn’t only need to be technically adept but also needs to navigate the corporate landscape effectively, communicate clearly, and provide actionable insights.

Our program is designed and delivered by industry veterans who not only impart the requisite technical knowledge but also share their real-world corporate experiences. They understand that it’s not enough to be technically proficient; the ability to communicate effectively, manage time, build professional relationships, and present ideas convincingly are all equally vital to thrive in a corporate landscape. As such, our program places a significant emphasis on the development of these skills, with our mentors providing continuous guidance, feedback, and support to the students throughout their learning journey.

This blended training approach of technical and soft skills equips our trainees to become not just competent security professionals, but also effective security consultants who can add significant value to client organizations. It’s this combination that makes Exfil Certified an unmatched program for anyone aspiring to advance in the field of security consultancy.
