Cybersecurity Online Educational Platform
The damage that cyber threats bring to companies is estimated at millions of dollars. A good web developer should always pay proper attention to cyber risks when working with applications in order to protect both employers and end users, as there is quite a large variety of cyber threats, take just buffer overflows, cross-site scripting (XXS) or SQL injections. Some say that the ability to write clear and secure code is the most important thing that can make applications secure.
Still, there’s also another point of view: it is of a great importance to raise the employees' awareness, including web application developers, in the area of cybersecurity to reduce the number of data leakages. Employees should be provided with trainings to gain knowledge on the possible security threats during the work process.
What do you think lies at the basis of a company’s security? Do you think that the ability to write a secure code is enough or companies have to introduce special trainings for their stuff?
And why us?
Why should I care?
If you are an IT specialist of any kind you should. QA, developers, system administrators – all need to stay up-to-date with modern threats. If you are a security specialist – you MUST be a professional.
OK, that seems reasonable. But what should I do?
There is a whole range of different educational systems and certification centers who teaching cybersecurity: from Udemy courses to SANS.
How do I choose the course that suits me best?
Here comes the interesting part. If you don’t care about security, but your dream job requires a certain qualification, you can take a Certified Ethical Hacker exam. Answer 125 questions and officially become a hacker. Although, without real practice you can’t become a professional. Numerous online university courses won’t give you that either.
What should I look for in a cybersecurity training program?
First, you need a strong theoretical background. Then, some practical tasks to develop your skills. Finally, you need a testing system to prove your knowledge. The best thing about OSCP is that you have 24 hours to pass it. You will test not only your knowledge but also your patience, time management, and creative thinking.
Is there something that’s not only educational but also fun?
The answer is yes. Hacktory will give you both theoretical knowledge and practical tasks. If you are an inexperienced hacker, there’s our friendly neighborhood robot to help you with tips 24/7 as you go through our practical tasks.Cybersecurity training and certification Q&A.
