Cisco - Cybersecurity Landscape and Free Resources!

The moment we think of Cybersecurity, the first word that comes to mind for most of us is the dreaded or enticing “HACKER.” Guess what? There is more, much more.  The featured presenters below covered free resources through Cisco Networking Academy and skillsforall.com.  Additionally, they provided a live demonstration of a real exploitation and and instructions on how to receive access to a hands on attack and defend lab to continue your education in cybersecurity.
