New2Cyber? Everything You Need to Know To Start Your Cybersecurity Career.
With cyber threats rising and constantly evolving, the need for qualified cybersecurity practitioners is becoming even greater.
Cybersecurity opens the doors to lucrative job opportunities in various industries around the world, from government roles to healthcare, manufacturing, and beyond.
Unlock competitive salaries as the demand for highly-skilled cybersecurity professionals grows.
SANS training never fails to impress. Instructors who are in the trenches sharing current data, tools, and techniques, bring such value to these courses.
As this is one of the highest-paid jobs in the field, the skills required to master the responsibilities involved are advanced. You must be highly competent in threat detection, threat analysis, and threat protection. This is a vital role in preserving the security and integrity of an organization’s data.
Explore learning pathSecurity Operations Center (SOC) analysts work alongside security engineers and SOC managers to implement prevention, detection, monitoring, and active response. Working closely with incident response teams, a SOC analyst will address security issues when detected, quickly and effectively. With an eye for detail and anomalies, these analysts see things most others miss.

Explore learning pathMonitors cyber defense tools like IDS and logs to analyze network events, identifying and mitigating potential threats to security environments.
Explore learning pathDesign, implement, and tune an effective combination of network-centric and data-centric controls to balance prevention, detection, and response. Security architects and engineers are capable of looking at an enterprise defense holistically and building security at every layer. They can balance business and technical requirements along with various security policies and procedures to implement defensible security architectures.
Explore learning pathAre you feeling the pressure to do more with less—juggling tool sprawl, alert fatigue, and increasingly sophisticated attacks? Security automation and AI-driven decision support can help streamline operations, enhance accuracy, and accelerate response times.
The widespread adoption of generative AI meant increased productivity for employees, but also for bad actors. They can now create sophisticated email attacks at scale—void of typos and grammatical errors that have become a key indicator of attack.
Today’s cyber threats move fast—and the only way to stay ahead is to think like an attacker. A reactive approach is no longer enough. Organizations need to adopt a proactive, offensive security posture to uncover vulnerabilities before adversaries do.
What are the critical skills that extremely successful infosec professionals need, and how can we develop these? Obviously, technology matters, but it's not just about technology.

This webinar explores the design and deployment of a robust detection engineering lab—built both on-prem and in the cloud—that enables engineers to simulate real world attacks, validate hypotheses, and rapidly iterate on detection logic.
Cybersecurity leaders and compliance professionals are under increasing pressure to meet a growing array of global regulations—all while maintaining effective threat detection and response capabilities. Traditional monitoring is no longer enough. Full Packet Capture (FPC) is rapidly emerging as a foundational requirement—not only for real-time visibility and forensic analysis, but as a direct response to regulatory mandates in the U.S., EU, and beyond.
We are lucky in Infosec. It may not be an easy field to get into, but once you’re in infosec, there is plenty of work available and many work models.
This Attack Surface & Vulnerability Management Survey gathers insights from security leaders, practitioners, and researchers to map out the current state of attack surface and vulnerability management.
Join us to hear how others are succeeding and failing to maintain an operational balance between competing internal priorities and threats which seem to relentlessly improve.
In 2025, with AI and automation everywhere, it’s more important than ever to stay ahead of attackers, arming yourself with clear intelligence, full visibility, and smart processes to catch problems before they become crises.
Join SANS for a special webcast introducing and demonstrating the New SANS Skills Quest powered By NetWars. SANS experts will provide an overview of this new and improved set of online range challenges that organizations can use to support continuous knowledge and skill development.
