London, UK, 4 March 2025 – Exabeam, a global leader in intelligence and automation that powers security operations, has partnered with CSE Connect, a national cybersecurity education network, to provide advanced cybersecurity education to UK students. The partnership will see Exabeam deliver lectures and interactive Exabeam Capture the Flag (CTF) exercises to support cybersecurity talent, promote awareness, and work towards addressing the industry skills gap.
Through its collaboration with CSE Connect, Exabeam aims to drive greater cybersecurity resilience in the UK by helping students identify ever-advancing threats in the digital world. It will provide knowledge and insights on the principles of a modern security operations platform based on the innovative threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capabilities of the Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform. Exabeam CTF exercises provide students with hands-on educational experiences to learn how to effectively identify and mitigate modern threats with AI-driven cybersecurity solutions.
“Collaborative innovation between education and technology is key to tackling the ever-evolving threat landscape. As threats become more complex and targeted, investment in future cybersecurity talent is essential to stay ahead of evolving risks,” said Kev Eley, Vice President UK & Ireland at Exabeam. “Our partnership with CSE Connect is all about nurturing skills, inspiring innovation, and expanding the impact of cybersecurity education. We’re focused on making cybersecurity more accessible in the UK with the end goal of strengthening national security.”
CSE Connect, supported by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), networks government, industry, and academia collaborators, to inspire current and future generations of cybersecurity professionals. Its goal is to connect the cyber education community and advocate innovation in UK cyber education through events and community problem-solving initiatives.
“Strong collaborative partnerships between industry and academia in cybersecurity education are essential. They help to bridge skills gaps and better align graduate competencies with employer needs, ultimately strengthening our national cyber security capabilities,” said Dr. Charles Clarke, Co-Founder at CSE Connect. “We are delighted to be working with Exabeam as an industry collaborator and look forward to broadening the scope of cybersecurity education through their innovative Capture the Flag platform.”
The partnership with CSE Connect is part of the continued investment from Exabeam into education to inspire future generations to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). It follows its sponsorship of The National Museum of Computing (TNMoC) to promote inclusion in the cybersecurity industry.
