Did you know that February is CTE month? CTE stands for Career & Technical Education, and it prepares students for career readiness in a wide array of industries, including #cybersecurity! In fact, according to ACTE, "US employers are looking to fill more than 663,000 jobs that require cybersecurity skills and pay between $61,500 and $166,000 annually." Why not start students on the path to a high-wage, high-demand job while they're still in high school? Did your high school have programs like this? If not, what do you wish they had to prepare you for your life after high school? #CTEMonth #AdvanceCTE

Two of my favorite companies, with RedSeer Security included by default, as they make Build Cyber happen and are simply awesome to work with!! 😁 It's things like this that give me hope for mankind, truly. I sincerely encourage any of you who fit into these categories, to apply for any of these three training classes, since you can't go wrong with any choice you might pick. The Offensive Azure class is the new one, but even the other two are top notch and essentially new themselves, since John Stigerwalt and Gregory Hatcher constantly update them to include all the newest developments in the field each class represents. Pairing them with Build Cyber is a match made in heaven! With Build Cyber's goal of making education and certifications, accessible to all those who would otherwise not be able to afford it, or those who might have "trouble" breaking through for other reasons; combined with top notch companies like White Knight Labs, who are willing to put their highly rated trainings in the mix with them, we will see an otherwise unknown, new generation of highly skilled people making the world a more secure place and paying it forward so that many more will be able to rise to the occasion at an exponential rate! "Helping others, helps the world."

🏙 Why are we so excited about our #SOC work with #Massachusetts municipalities? Because it demonstrates the intersectionality of our mission and the collaboration of our #MassCyberEcosystem. Together with our partners like John Petrozzelli at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative's #MassCyberCenter, we are showcasing what an effective, multi-pronged approach to #cyberresiliency looks like. 💡 Whether you are an employer looking to invest in skilled talent, a municipality looking to increase your #cyberposture, or a higher education institution looking to provide your students with real-world #cyberinternship experiences, CyberTrust Massachusetts is here for you. 🖱 For more details on this initiative and how you can be a part of it, check out the full press release! https://lnkd.in/eS5M-hp7 #cyber #SOC #cyberdefense #cyberoperations #vulnerabilityassessments #cyberadvisory #workforcedevelopment #cyberinterns #cybersecurityinterns #cybersecurity

Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity: A Blueprint for Success In the world of cybersecurity and GRC, embracing diversity and hands-on learning isn't just beneficial, it's imperative. This is exemplified by U.S. Cyber Command's Academic Engagement Network's work with HBCUs, like Morgan State University. Their approach to cybersecurity education, emphasizing practical experience and inclusivity, mirrors our own educational philosophy. Dr. Kevin T. Kornegay's hands-on teaching style and his students' successes showcase the powerful impact of this approach. As we continue our journey in educating the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, adopting and integrating such dynamic and inclusive methods is more than a goal—it's a commitment to excellence and diversity in the field. These initiatives not only shape skilled professionals but also contribute to a more diverse and resilient cybersecurity landscape.
