Cybersecurity is more important than ever, and staying ahead of the ever-changing threat landscape is not an easy task. As perpetual students, we have a lot of resources that are available to us. Some are free, some cost a lot of money (I am looking at you, SANS) and some are reasonable (e.g. Tryhackme, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning)
In this industry, it is critical that we have access to the right training and tools to build our skills and knowledge. CISA Learning is a fantastic resource from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency designed to help individuals and organizations up their cybersecurity game.
