Relevant training in Cyber Security is always a big concern for all companies. Knowing what courses to send their staff on, or what fundamental skills they would like their employees to have, is a question most IT Security Professionals and Managers have been asking for a long time. The answer is, there is no correct answer.
I just want to point out that I do not work for Immersive Labs, but I am an ambassador for them, promoting it to students at my University.
Immersive Labs is a fantastic online tool which allows companies and organisations to upskill their employees in Cybe essential skills, varying from basic Cyber termanology, Linux and Windows Comamnds, and GDPR fundamentals, through to actual in-depth Digital Forensics, Malware Analysis, and Penetration Testing - plus more. It all works by virtual labs contained within your browser tab. It is all sandboxed, and secure, being able
to run on most, if not all systems.
I strongly believe in this tool, that is why I became an ambassador. I think it is a brilliant way for employers to identify talent within their organisation, as well as identifying shortfalls in training and knowledge. We use this as students, and it definitely enhances our degree studies. It is updated every Friday with relevant content, and covers topics from a Novice to Ninja level.

Best wishes,
