Phase2 Advantage cybersecurity is pleased to announce an academic partnership between our publishing unit and VitalSource, a digital academic platform and an Ingram Content Group company. The partnership will enable Phase2 Advantage – currently providing cybersecurity training and academic resources to colleges and universities in 18 countries – to potentially expand practical, experiential, and immersive learning experiences to millions of new students in 240 countries and territories.

They offer instant access to purchased publications, major savings on textbook editions provided through print resellers, and 24/7 customer support via phone, email, and chat. Their commitment to the student user experience was a major consideration for Phase2 Advantage when establishing this global partnership.

This cost effective and efficient delivery of cybersecurity course materials will also provide significant benefits to our international client universities and colleges. The ability to secure digital copies of textbooks for students immediately removes the fees and inconveniences of customs, import tariffs, value added taxes (VAT), and the potential for damaged or lost shipments.

With this publishing partnership in place, Phase2 Advantage will make the textbook titles listed below available immediately through the VitalSource academic platform. Sampling has been enabled for course instructors to review digital desk copies of these titles.  Click the links below to view the textbooks on the VitalSource platform.
