    An excellent choice to keep up with cybersecurity education

    The field of information security is constantly evolving as new threats are discovered each day. Our consultants have to keep up with new knowledge and techniques to conduct pentesting, vulnerability remediation, computer forensic audits, and so on. Traditional training in cybersecurity is very expensive, lengthy, and lacks practical experience. When we found Infosec Skills we were impressed with the many themes available in their library, their focus, and also with the price, which is very economic in comparison with other alternatives. Also, their cyber ranges allow our employees to practice the skills needed in a very practical way. We are very happy to count on Infosec [Skills] as an educational ally.

    Fantastic Product

    Our security department is in its infancy and we use it daily to learn best practices and educate ourselves on tools that can be used to help secure our environment. There are a couple of staff members looking to obtain certifications and it's also used to prepare them for the test.

    The top notch cyber security knowledge hub

    We have relied on Infosec Skills to get the latest data and information on cyber security. The company has welcoming staff that interacts freely with our members during training sessions. I have acquired top notch skills of discovering threats from internet. The frequent awareness data helps us to set policies of countering new forms of ransomware attacks. I have advanced my knowledge on modern cyber attacks and I can collaborate with my colleagues with confidence.

The instructor was able to take material that prior to the class had made no sense, and explained it in real world scenarios that were able to be understood.

Erik Heiss, United States Air Force
MJ

I really appreciate that our instructor was extremely knowledgeable and was able to provide the information in a way that it could be understood. He also provided valuable test-taking strategies that I know not only helped me with this exam, but will help in all exams I take in the future.

Michelle Jemmott, Pentagon

The course was extremely helpful and provided exactly what we needed to know in order to successfully navigate the exam. Without this I am not confident I would have passed.
