Cyber Management Alliance, a provider
of high-level specialised operational and
strategic cybersecurity training courses,
has announced that its Cyber Incident
Response course is the first such course
to be certified by the UK government.
Established in 2015 and headquartered
in the UK, Cyber Management Alliance
is closing the divide in cyberspace by
bringing together the best qualities of
thought leadership, operational mastery of
cybersecurity and risk management, and
achieving joint strategic goals of reducing
organisational exposure to cyberthreats.
The provider offers cyber-resiliency
services to global organisations and
delivers a high-level of specialised
operational and strategic consultancy,
training and executive workshops in
cybersecurity and data privacy.
Given how critical cybersecurity has
become to Business Continuity, its
highly popular Cyber Incident Planning
& Response (CIPR) course aims to
help people equip themselves with the
requisite cyberskills to navigate the
increasingly complex world of cyberrisks
and threats.
The course’s level of prestige is
highlighted by the fact that it is the first
to be certified by the recently rebranded
NCSC’s certified training scheme,
provided by APMG International.
The course was first certified by the
Government Scheme in 2016 and is also
accredited by the Chartered Institute of
Information Security (CIISec).
Interactive, practical and immersive,
the entire course can be conveniently
completed by attending a virtual
classroom or via a self-paced
e-learning environment. Besides
gaining imperative insights into key
cyber risk-reducing controls for their
business, course participants also
have the advantage of being trained by
Amar Singh, globally renowned as one
of the top cybersecurity practitioners
and the Founder and CEO of Cyber
Management Alliance.
Commenting on the launch, Singh
said: “I am delighted that APMG has
awarded NCSC Certified Training status
for the CIPR course, including its online
delivery programme. The updated and
comprehensive course is accessible for
all levels of management and technical
audiences. The CIPR course is a complete
guide to planning and responding to a
cyber crisis or a data breach.”

APMG-International’s COO, Nick
Houlton, said: “Protecting individuals,
teams and organisations from the
financial and reputational damage of
cyber incidents is at the heart of the
Information Security Agenda. APMG
is delighted to certify this course
on behalf of the UK National Cyber
Security Centre and looks forward to its
continuing success in the market.”
Cyber Management Alliance’s Cofounder,
Bal Rai, said: “We are pleased
to have received NCSC Certified
Training certification status. Over 300
organisations in 20 different countries
have benefitted from the course and
internal workshops and with the launch
of the online training, it means every
organisation, globally, can access the
knowledge and skills at any time.”
Previous participants of the NCSC-
Certified CIPR workshop have come from
organisations including the United Nations,
UK Ministry of Defence, several UK Police
Forces, NHS Trusts, European Central
