SkillHat Launches Cutting-Edge Cybersecurity Bootcamp to Address Growing Demand for Cyber Risk Professionals

Toronto, Canada – March 31, 2025 – Cyberattacks are at an all-time high, costing companies billions in fines and damages. In 2023 alone, Meta faced a $1.3 billion fine for data privacy violations, while Equifax lost $1.7 billion to a cyber breach. With businesses increasingly vulnerable due to remote work and digital transformation, cybersecurity is no longer an option, it is a necessity. Companies would rather pay cybersecurity experts 6-figures annually to protect them than lose billions of dollars to cyber attacks.

To help meet the soaring demand for cybersecurity professionals, SkillHat is excited to launch its Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Bootcamp, a 12-week online program designed to equip learners with in-demand skills in cybersecurity governance, risk management, and compliance.

Addressing a Critical Industry Need

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and new technologies presents both opportunities and risks. Businesses, particularly in regulated industries, have an opportunity to implement AI and technology solutions, but must remain compliant with strict regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. SkillHat’s Cybersecurity GRC Bootcamp empowers professionals to help organizations mitigate technology risks, establish governance frameworks, and ensure compliance in an area where demand is skyrocketing.

“The cybersecurity industry has shifted towards prevention over response,” said Mo’ Ekujumi, CEO/Founder at SkillHat. “Companies are prioritizing cybersecurity investments, offering six-figure salaries to professionals who can safeguard their systems, an expense far smaller than the billions lost to cyber breaches and regulatory fines.”
