Modulo Education, the institutional branch of the Brazilian corporation Modulo, is the first Latin American organization, and the world’s sixth, to be accredited by EXIN with instructors certified to deliver Information Security based on ISO/IEC 27002 training and examinations.
“Having been around for 40 years, present in over 125 countries, and delivering examinations in approximately 15 languages, EXIN wanted to seek a partner in Brazil who was highly specialized in Information Security – namely, Modulo – so as to start offering the new certification with exams translated into Portuguese. This was a joint effort by both companies, which highlighted the seriousness and respect of Brazilian professionals”, said Milena Andrade, Regional Manager for EXIN Brazil.
Beginning with the basicsWith this partnership, Modulo will initially offer the preparatory course for ISFS (Information Security Foundation Based on ISO/IEC 27002) certification. The first classes are scheduled to take place this coming April. For additional information, consult Modulo’s web site: www.modulo.com.br.
