Cyberbit announced a new partnership with Optiv to bring simulation-based SOC Team training to Optiv clients throughout North America. Through this strategic partnership, Optiv will offer the Cyberbit platform to train cybersecurity teams from "Zero to hero," developing skills in cyber labs before responding to real-world cyberattacks, simulated in a virtual SOC within the cyber range.

The United States and Australia on Friday announced a partnership for the continuous development of a virtual cyber training range. The Cyber Training Capabilities Project Arrangement, which was signed on November 3, results in the incorporation of Australian Defense Force feedback into the U.S. Cyber Command's simulated training domain, the Persistent Cyber Training Environment.

Luckily SANS Institute, one of the most venerable names in security training, has brought its world beating events online, allowing you to continue to take its live courses, virtually. So perhaps what you need is SANS OnDemand: Self-Paced Online Training.

The United States and Australia have signed a first-ever bilateral agreement that allows the U.S. Cyber Command and the Information Warfare Division of the Australian Defense Force to jointly develop and share a virtual cyber training platform. The two countries' departments of defense will achieve this by incorporating IWD's feedback into USCYBERCOM's simulated training domain known as the Persistent Cyber Training Environment.

If you work in cybersecurity you'll know that come December, it's time to kick back, take stock and prepare for whatever devilish tricks the hacker community is planning to pull over Christmas and into 2021. In which case you'll be glad to know that the SANS Institute will be coming to London - virtually - in December with a wide-ranging slate of courses, including four all new tracks.

Udemy published an article on Wednesday outlining the key findings of its 2021 Workplace Learning Trends Report. The report detailed training courses that have seen a surge in demand on Udemy for Business, the company's online learning platform.

Training people to fill cybersecurity jobs is important, but teaching everyone safe practices is also essential. Karen Roby: While it may seem I think obvious to why a real focus on STEM should be involved when it comes to cybersecurity, it also seems some government agencies are resistant, hesitant, to adopt new cybersecurity methods.

The problem is, developers haven't had the most inspiring introduction to security training over the years, and anything that can be done to make their experience more engaging, productive, and fun is going to be a powerful motivator in helping them gain valuable secure coding skills. In a blog post from November 28, 2019, security research group Wisdom reported on a security bug they discovered on GitHub.

We might all be living under various degrees of lockdown, but that doesn't mean you can't sharpen up your security skills with some of the best instructors around - and all at early bird prices, if you're quick. That's because the SANS Institute has announced new security training events for early 2021, which will get you up to speed on the latest security threats, thinking and techniques across a range of platforms and industries, and across a range of time zones.

Driven by a strong curiosity to know how computers and computer programs are made, how they work, and how safe they are, Sheila A. Berta, Head of Security Research at Dreamlab Technologies, has been interested in cybersecurity since her early teens. "At the moment everything tends to migrate to containerized, serverless and/or cloud environments with a microservices focus, so DevOps and other IT professionals have been forced to learn how to implement and work with these infrastructures," she explained her more recent research interests.
