Overall Satisfaction with Infosec Skills

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.
  • 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.

  • Improved knowledge
  • Earn new certifications
  • Develop new skills
Specialized content allows our engineers to be on top of our competency, gain the confidence of our clients, and allow us to perform exceptional tasks that no other companies offer. Also the cyber-ranges offer a way to practice new skills without the need to create a physical lab.
The cyber ranges allow to put into practice the theory and acquire new skills for the job.
The interface is easy to use and clean.
CodeRed does not have cyber-ranges.

Yes

Did implementation of Infosec Skills go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Infosec Skills again?

Yes

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.
