    Staff accreditations and ongoing training at Ward Solutions

    At Ward Solutions, the strengths and skills of our team underpin everything that we do. Companies with sensitive and mission-critical systems choose us for our security-centred approach, in order to securely manage their systems. They trust us and our team do the right thing and ensure the security of their applications and infrastructure services.
    Cyber security is a fast-paced industry and our team has to keep itself up-to-date and often one step ahead of the latest threats, insecurities, vulnerabilities and attacks. To make sure our team is best equipped to handle any information security event, we invest €400,000 each year on innovation and training.
    Every team member must spend five per cent of their time training, understanding evolving threats and developing new responses. That way, we turn information security into a competitive advantage for our clients. Furthermore, we have a very high employee retention rate at 90 per cent, meaning you can rely on our highly trained support team to be there.
    We recruit only the best people in their respective fields, with the highest and most appropriate levels of information security skills. Here are some of the latest accreditations belonging to our highly skilled team.
