Insights from the experts
“The cyber security space is encountering a rapidly evolving landscape that demands both adaptability and vigilance. The potential to bolster or bypass cyber security measures with AI is transforming the threat landscape, enabling automated attacks to proliferate existing threats more efficiently.
“The key to resilience lies in prioritising security as a critical business investment to protect innovation, and fuel business growth. Every organisation building or consuming AI tech will need AI security and AI governance skilled professionals.”

Hear from our customers
“With a co-creative approach, QA created a series of blended pathways for architects, developers and administrators that totally met all of these criteria. QA helped manage the entire implementation and created a website for us to support the communication process.”
“QA’s SOC Boot Camp programme has had a significant impact in developing our new cyber security staff and closing the skill gap. There is a critical shortage of cyber security specialists in the industry, and this programme has allowed us to meet this challenge head-on.”
“Customers in the national security sector are starting to recognise the importance of the cloud and are migrating less-sensitive workloads into that space... [because of the number of trained and certified employees at BAE Systems AI] ...we’re in a better position to go to market and bid against other companies.”
