When it comes to cybersec certifications, GIAC is the gold standard.

The organisation takes pride in certifications that "Rather than skimming the surface of different skillsetsare a mile deep for specialised job-focused tasks." And GIAC exams with Cyberlive don't just test you on the theory, but show you've proven your skills in lab-based situations.

Crucially, GIAC's certifications are valid for four years.

Yes, 2020 saw the debut of GIAC's GCSA: GIAC Cloud Security Automation, which is associated with SANS' Cloud Security and DevOps Automation course.

Most SANS courses, which are considered the cutting edge in infosec training, have a corresponding GIAC certification, and you can usually register for certification at the same time you book your course.

As you're taking down your holiday cards this week, just ask yourself whether a freshly minted GIAC certification is just the thing to hang up in its space.
