AI-based attacks will come faster and the sequence of activities will be less predictable. Cyber defenders are skilled in network analysis, incident response and cloud or identity management, but in the face of AI-based attacks, they need new skills, tools and defensive tactics.
New to cybersecurity? Start by learning how organizations work - their people, processes and priorities - before diving deep into technical stacks. Understanding how to translate technical findings into business risk differentiates a professional from a technician.
The future of work is no longer speculative, it is already being coded. From automated writing assistants to robotic warehouse employees, artificial intelligence is entering every part of the modern workforce faster than regulations or social frameworks can adapt.
As large enterprises continue to strengthen their defenses and reduce ransom payouts, ransomware operators are redirecting their attention toward midsize organizations. This shift has increased the urgency for adaptable, well-trained cyber professionals who can tailor enterprise-grade protections.
Shiny object syndrome is more than a metaphor in cybersecurity. Organizations that chase every new tool often discover that what looked impressive in a demo fails to meet operational needs. The cure for this common malady is a structured tool evaluation process.
Cyberbit acquired RangeForce, uniting two leading cyber range platforms to accelerate AI-enabled simulation training for SOC and incident response teams. The combined entity aims to deliver a unified user interface, deeper content catalog and improved cyber readiness metrics for security leaders.
Capture the Flag, or CTF, competitions have become a global training ground for cybersecurity professionals. These events test offensive security skills across software vulnerabilities, reversing and even physical security, said Nicolas Werner, representative at Enoflag.
In their careers, cyber professionals are expected to move beyond clicking through alerts and develop more depth in the field. The "easy button" may feel efficient, but it could be your downfall if you don't push yourself to truly learn the ins and outs of cyber defense.
Operational technology incidents can have physical as well as digital consequences, from halting plant production to endangering lives. Training tailored to OT security is essential for protecting critical systems while maintaining operational continuity.
Some organizations are hesitant about implementing artificial intelligence tools in their enterprises because of accuracy, security and privacy concerns. That hesitation creates opportunities for professionals who can bridge the gap between technical potential and practical deployment.
When used well, vibe coding can unlock astonishing productivity and lower the barrier to getting ideas off the ground. But here's the problem: Too many newcomers are mistaking it as a replacement for a deep understanding of coding and software development principles.
Cybersecurity professionals are finding themselves on the front lines of a different kind of battlefield - one that spans global networks, targets civilian infrastructure and operates continuously across borders. Follow these steps to prepare for a career in cyber defense.
According to ISC2's 2025 Cybersecurity Hiring Trends Report, job descriptions for entry-level cybersecurity roles tend to list qualifications that are out of reach for new cyber professionals. Managers need updated requirements and broader talent pipelines to build more resilient security teams.
Cyberattacks may make headlines, but the daily discipline of security - patching routines, threat hunting, tabletop exercises and user education campaigns - is where resilience is forged. These tasks might not feel heroic, but they build technical and human infrastructure to handle the next crisis.
If you're a junior SOC analyst, a GRC specialist or someone working in ICS environments, the idea of a cyber portfolio might seem irrelevant. It's not. Employers need tangible proof of your skills, and a well-constructed portfolio does just that - whether your job touches logs or legal frameworks.
