The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a new training manual last week for current and future federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial personnel looking to develop their cybersecurity skills. This new guide, titled the Cybersecurity Workforce Training Guide, includes over 100 training and certification prep courses for cybersecurity professionals along with access to resources from across the government. These training programs and tools provide opportunities at every proficiency level, from beginner through advanced. The guide also allows personnel to chart a professional development path for advancing their cybersecurity knowledge and will help illuminate potential career options in the cyber field. Eric Goldstein, executive assistant director for cybersecurity at CISA, noted that “The cybersecurity workforces is on the frontlines of our nation’s security.” And this guide will  “provide the right tools so this critical workforce knows where to find the available training that can help them be well prepared and skilled.” Access the guide at CISA and read a relevant article at MeriTalk.
