Best Cybersecurity Professional Development Software - Page 2

Researched and written by Brandon Summers-Miller

Cybersecurity professional development software helps cybersecurity professionals cultivate new skills to identify, address, and mitigate security threats better. Security professionals use cybersecurity professional development tools to remain abreast of best practices and new threats in a rapidly evolving space. These products develop security professionals’ skill sets and either demonstrate their expertise through earned credentials, including certifications or directly prepare security professionals to pass certifying exams. Using these products, enterprises may invest in their security teams to better their organizations’ security postures.

While security awareness training software is for all employees within an organization, cybersecurity professional development products have a more niche audience: cybersecurity professionals. General security awareness training is useful for organizations to equip their staff to mitigate risks and report threats to security teams. Cybersecurity professional development software, however, primes security professionals to implement the latest procedures and security protocols with new or improved skills.

While some online course providers offer training for security teams and employees, the products listed in this category are courses specific to cybersecurity and information security credentialing and professional development rather than just better awareness and security practices in the workplace.

To qualify for inclusion in the Cybersecurity Professional Development category, a product must:

  • Offer specialized professional development courses, learning modules, and exams for cybersecurity professionals
  • Offer cybersecurity certifications or credentials upon successful course or exam completion or offer an explicit path for cybersecurity professional certifying exam preparation
