Overall Satisfaction with Infosec Skills

I currently use Infosec Skills to further my own knowledge, particularly in the areas of information technology governance, security, and risk management, with future plans to expand this training to additional staff, specifically our IT and cybersecurity teams. This will help us build a culture that can supplant resources currently outsourced, to better manage our environment on the ground, in person, without relying on third parties.

Pros

  • Courses are presented in small chunks, so busy people can proceed without needing to split segments up, and can get whole subject area in one sitting
  • Subjects are well organized, a good mix of "theory" and real world examples
  • Completion certifications are available to suit a wide variety of continuing education requirements
  • Courses are well-paced and clearly presented, easy to follow

Cons

  • Maybe more options for downloading course content for off-line review
  • Inclusion of more video segments
  • Close-captioning (or maybe I just didn't see the option)

Would you buy Infosec Skills again?

Yes

  • Contributed significantly to certification prep
  • Increased comfort and familiarity with topics taught in courses
  • Definitely helped in achieving new knowledge and skills
I use a variety of sources for training, some because they're available at low cost through my employer, others because they offer courses in a specific niche. I like Infosec for the range of subjects and learning paths that are applicable to my current objectives. The courses are well-made and provide useful and purposeful information.
The training on Infosec has definitely help steer me toward a management role in IT, risk management, quality, governance, and cybersecurity. With the content available, there are a lot of options and future possibilities open to me, whether as an informal influencer or in a formal role as CIO, CISO, CSO, or other senior leadership.
N/A
Easy to navigate site, clearly defined classes, short easy to digest segments, well-presented and paced learning materials.
Anyone seeking an IT certification, particularly from ISC2, ISACA or another security focused organization, will find these offerings a great resource. For someone trying to build a specific program to train their people (e.g., elements of cybersecurity, network management, system administration), it's a little tricky to find and combine available courses and/or career paths, but the end result is great.
