An excellent choice to keep up with cybersecurity education

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The field of information security is constantly evolving as new threats are discovered each day. Our consultants have to keep up with new knowledge and techniques to conduct pentesting, vulnerability remediation, computer forensic audits, and so on. Traditional training in cybersecurity is very expensive, lengthy, and lacks practical experience. When we found Infosec Skills we were impressed with the many themes available in their library, their focus, and also with the price, which is very economic in comparison with other alternatives. Also, their cyber ranges allow our employees to practice the skills needed in a very practical way. We are very happy to count on Infosec [Skills] as an educational ally.
Pros and Cons
  • Specific topics in cybersecurity for rapid reading.
  • Broad range of different themes.
  • Practical scenarios to improve skills.
  • Content aligned with cybersecurity standards
  • Include content for certifications
  • We would like to see more cyber ranges coming.
  • More content aligned with industry certifications.
  • Include something about AI and cybersecurity
Likelihood to Recommend
Infosec Skills is well suited for continous learning in cybersecurity for small or big teams, also is a good fit in order to prepare for recognized international certifications in cybersecurity like for example CPTE (Certified Penetration Testing Engineer), but I believe it could get better adding more cyber ranges in a CTF fashion.

We have relied on Infosec Skills to get the latest data and information on cyber security. The company has welcoming staff that interacts freely with our members during training sessions. I have acquired top notch skills of discovering threats from internet. The frequent awareness data helps us to set policies of countering new forms of ransomware attacks. I have advanced my knowledge on modern cyber attacks and I can collaborate with my colleagues with confidence.
Pros and Cons
  • Provision of effective skills on cyber security.
  • Creating awareness on new forms of data attacks.
  • Testing employee capability to handle security threats.
  • The team is dedicated to offer reliable skills.
  • I have acquired a lot and I cannot complain.
Likelihood to Recommend
The onboarding process has been quite productive throughout with the best team. The customer support team is able and ever on alert when requested to assist. It has simple user interface which is not the case with other similar platforms. The training modules are easy to understand and put into practice. It meets the set threshold and complies with company principals.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Infosec Skills to provide continuous training to our technicians and to prepare them for various certifications. Infosec Skills allows us to create personalized training programs that focus on each of our technicians' particular roles and see their progress as they take courses. We also, recommend it to clients to make their IT support teams better.
Pros and Cons
  • Easy to use interface.
  • Customizable/personalizable training programs.
  • Offers add-ons such as bootcamps.
  • Some trainings are hard to search for.
  • Sometimes reporting is incomplete (missing info).
Likelihood to Recommend
Infosec Skills is great for organizations that don't have a ton of resources to put into continuous training but have the desire to keep their teams as educated as possible. To that end, those organizations also have to be willing to dedicate the time to their teams to actually use the program. For larger organizations where the certifications really matter, the Boot Camps provide relatively short, but effective training and certification.

Verified User
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use the Infosec CSSA (Certified SCADA Security Architect) in our department for our SCADA administrators. This gives us a good base for security measures with our SCADA system and also helps us in interfacing with our IT department for joint ventures. It also shows competence in this area for external audits.
Pros and Cons
  • The class was the right amount of depth for our needs.
  • The classes were a week long boot camp style which is a good amount of time.
  • The test was included in the class.
  • Training at the customer location
Likelihood to Recommend
The boot camp CSSA training and exam was the right amount of depth for our needs and the instructor was very knowledgeable. The security approaches taught were relevant and very applicable to the OT environment and allowed us to upgrade our current skills and use what we had learned almost immediately. I would recommend this training to all OT staff.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Infosec Skills has been a great addition for all our clients and internally as well. It really covers the fundamentals behind emails/phishing and what all your end-users should be aware of. The amount of times that we got calls about suspicious emails beforehand was quite vast and now more of our users feel comfortable with being able to tell if they are legitimate or not. I really like this for government entities (GCC High), as it allows us to cover compliance while also helping reduce the risk of our employees.
Pros and Cons
  • Makes users aware of threats.
  • Support and documentation is great. Likely find most answers you need right away.
  • Friendly interface for all kinds of users.
  • Provides valuable insight on each course but sometimes videos can leave you hanging where to select to move onto next item. Only happened in one.
  • Two factor authentication might be worth implementing?
Likelihood to Recommend
This is very helpful with teaching how to read and react to items that come on a daily basis. It has helped get ticket volume down with teaching and also allows us to delegate who can and cannot read into further deep-dive emails.

I used Infosec Skills to prepare for my CISSP exam, as well as learning about a few other security/technology items here and there. To date, I was the only user that my organization would permit access (budgetary restrictions). This is a great solution for learners to advance their technical skills on a variety of topics and was a superb way to go through Infosec's boot camp for the certification exam.
Pros and Cons
  • Extraordinary support team.
  • Responsive to customer needs in their enhancement road map.
  • Always expanding and adding value to their platform.
  • High quality code, have not ever observed a bug.
  • Having the ability to get inactive users out of seat count but still retained in history (might be in development or already out and I just don't know about it).
Likelihood to Recommend
Infosec Skills would make it very easy to train technology users in new areas and get them some great in-depth knowledge on complex topics. Truly an excellent product, and I really like how they break things down into manageable pieces that you can jump into, rather than feeling like you have to take on the entire topic at one time. It's nice to be able to grab a topic or two during lunch or a break. Fantastic content, great delivery mechanism.
