COLUMBIA, MD – Focal Point Data Risk, LLC (“Focal Point”), a leading cybersecurity services provider, today announced that several of its most popular cybersecurity training courses are now available for remote delivery. This is the first time that these courses – which previously were only available in-person to elite cyber teams – have been made available via fully remote, live instruction.
Focal Point Academy’s virtual offering provides more interactivity – and more time spent in hands-on virtual labs – than any other advanced cyber training in the market. This delivery method also preserves the core elements that makes Focal Point Academy’s in-person training so unique:
- World-class instructors
- Low student-to-instructor ratio
- Hands-on lab exercises done in real time, with instructor support and guidance
- Group activities and challenges
- An engaging, interactive learning environment
- 180 days of lab access

Our number one priority is to build stronger, smarter, more adaptable security teams, and this expansion unlocks that potential for many more organizations.”
