Case Study: Nanyang Polytechnic achieves job-ready cybersecurity skills for students with Tenable Networks' Nessus

Nanyang Polytechnic Trains the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Professionals with Tenable Nessus

Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) in Singapore trains students and working adults in applied sciences and IT but faces a sector-wide challenge: a global shortage of cybersecurity professionals while organizations rapidly deploy software that can contain unremediated vulnerabilities. To ensure learners are job-ready and can reduce time-to-productivity, NYP needed to teach industry-standard vulnerability management skills early in its programs.

NYP integrated Tenable Nessus into its CET and pre-employment training (PET) courses and plans to add it to the three-year cybersecurity diploma. Using Nessus in real-world scenarios, students learn to find, rank, remediate, and report vulnerabilities, giving graduates practical, enterprise-grade experience that helps them stand out to employers, shortens onboarding time, and increases course appeal.
