Red Alpha Cybersecurity has recently been honoured with the SGTech Workforce Transformation Award in the Information and Communications sector. Presented at the SGTech Impact Awards 2025 by Senior Minister of State Zaqy Mohamad, SGTech Chair Nicholas Lee, and Workforce Singapore Chief Executive Dilys Boey, this accolade recognizes Red Alpha’s leadership in building a future ready cybersecurity workforce in Singapore.
Rethinking Cybersecurity Training
Red Alpha’s approach goes beyond just teaching technical skills. The company focuses on career building and real world problem solving, helping individuals transition into cybersecurity roles even if they do not have prior experience in the field.
Dean Gefen, Founder and Group CEO at Red Alpha, emphasized:
“We are building careers and solving real industry pain points and not just teaching cyber skills. This award validates our mission and commitment to close Singapore’s cyber talent gap.”
How the Program Works
Selective intake: Only the top 1-2 percent of candidates are admitted into its intensive four to six month bootcamp.
Certifications and partnerships: Trainees earn recognised industry certifications and gain hands on experience through enterprise collaborations.
Upskilling mid career professionals: The program welcomes individuals changing careers, offering mentorship and support as they shift into cybersecurity.
This model ensures participants not only graduate with credentials but also the practical experience and confidence to succeed in real roles.
Driving Industry Impact
SGTech Executive Director Yean Cheong remarked that Red Alpha’s approach is a prime example of inclusive talent development through upskilling, setting a benchmark for other tech organisations.
By transforming lives, Red Alpha is filling a critical gap in Singapore’s cybersecurity ecosystem equipping government agencies, businesses, and infrastructure providers with skilled cyber defenders.
What This Means for Singapore
Winning the Workforce Transformation Award reflects Red Alpha’s meaningful contribution to the national agenda of strengthening our digital workforce. It also underlines their role as a key partner in government and industry efforts to boost overall cyber resilience.
