QA Ltd

Today marks a new era in learning and development. We’re proud to introduce the new QA: a unified platform designed to empower businesses to drive change by transforming their people. Our vision is to foster a culture of collaboration and continuous growth, providing consistent experiences for learners and businesses alike. By uniting self-paced learning, instructor-led training, applied learning, and apprenticeships into one seamless experience, we're doubling down on the collaborative nature of how people learn, master, and apply those skills. "It's not enough to upskill or reskill individual people," says QA CEO Richard Townsend. "Collaboration – getting cohorts working together in new ways – is the key to change, which organisations need today."

Throughout October, we explored the evolving landscape of cyber threats and how AI is reshaping the way we approach security. One thing is clear: AI is not just a threat, but a powerful tool in the fight against cybercrime. 'A powerful alliance for strengthening organisational cybersecurity' - our latest whitepaper - delves into how organisations can leverage AI to strengthen their cybersecurity posture. We explore the key priorities of governance, collaboration, and training, and how these can be implemented to maximise safety and efficiency while maintaining a competitive edge. Key takeaways: - The rise of AI-powered threats: 74% of security professionals believe AI-powered threats are already impacting their organisations. - The importance of AI governance: Establish clear policies and frameworks to ensure responsible AI usage and mitigate risks. - Upskilling for a secure future: Equip your teams with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the complexities of AI security. - AI-enabled security as a strategic asset: Harness the power of AI to enhance threat detection, automate responses, and improve overall security resilience.
