In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, professionals constantly juggle high-pressure responsibilities, urgent threats, and the need to quickly adapt to new types of cyberattacks. With these demands, finding time for training is a challenge—long courses require time off work, in-person boot camps mean travel costs, and once the session is over, without regular practice the knowledge fades.
Yet, keeping skills up-to-date and continuously learning new techniques is non-negotiable in cybersecurity. Cyber threats evolve daily, and the best way to keep up is through regular, hands-on training—but who has time for that?
The Importance of Self-Paced Cyber Ranges
Self-paced cyber ranges have become essential in today's cybersecurity training landscape. They allow professionals to thoroughly explore materials at their own pace, making them particularly valuable for those looking to master complex topics in information security. This flexible approach not only enhances knowledge retention but also enables individuals to delve deeper into areas of interest or where they need improvement.
The new SANS self-paced cyber range provides professionals with six months of access to a variety of real-world exercises that are regularly updated to reflect the current industry challenges.
