CISOSHARE Announces Strategic Spin-Off into Three Organizations

SAN CLEMENTE, CALIF. (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

CISOSHARE announced today that its Board of Directors has approved and set a date of October 1, 2021, for the spin-off of CyberForward Academy, LLC and TalentSplit, LLC into their own organizations.

A thorough review shows that splitting these entities is more favorable competitively and strategically for each business. The completion of the spin-offs into three independent and privately held companies will individually boost each organization creating an ecosystem of efforts designed to both help win the war against cybercrime and effectively develop and train the cyber workforce of tomorrow.

Following the split, CISOSHARE will continue with the sole focus as a leading cyber security provider of professional and managed cyber security program services to leading organizations around the world.

The partner-enabled cyber security professional development program will be held by a new company named CyberForward Academy, LLC.

The SaaS-based talent and role management technology, initially developed to rapidly scale the internal security services team, will be held by a new company named TalentSplit, LLC.

All of these entities will be headquartered within Opportunity Zones in Orange County making them Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) businesses. In 2017, Congress created the Opportunity Zone program to encourage investment in economically distressed parts of the United States.

“Locating our businesses within opportunity zones is the best approach to better reach untapped talent, as well as to strengthen underserved communities by building businesses directly within them,” says, Mike Gentile, Founder and CEO of CISOSHARE and the newly created businesses.

He goes on to say, “We know we are not done, even by a long shot, but we believe these changes increase individual focus on each unique business and better position us for continued progress with our lofty goals of winning this cyber war and creating a win-win between learners, hiring organizations and our communities.”
