Helpful cybersecurity resources

As we approach the end of our program, it's important to start thinking about ways to engage with the security community.
As the industry evolves, it's essential to stay up-to-date on the latest security trends and news.
Let's discuss a few good resources for you to review periodically.
What excites me about the security profession is the constant evolution of the industry.
Take the OWASP top 10 for example.
Earlier in the program, we discussed the fact that this is a globally recognized standard awareness document that lists the top 10 most critical security risks to web applications.
This list is updated every three to four years, so it's a great example of the evolving nature of the field.
Continuing your security education beyond this certificate program will help you stand out to hiring managers and could give you an extra edge over other candidates because it shows your willingness to remain current on what's happening in the industry.
A few well-known security websites and blogs to get you started are CSO Online, Krebs on Security, and Dark Reading.
The CSO Online site provides news, analysis, and research on various security and risk management topics.
Many CSOs view this site for tips and ideas.
It would be great for you to review this publication every now and then.
Krebs on Security is an in-depth security blog created by former Washington Post reporter, Brian Krebs.
This blog covers security news and investigations into various cyber attacks.
Accessing the Krebs blog is a good way to stay up-to-date on the latest security news and happenings around the world.
Dark Reading is a popular website for security professionals.
This site provides information about various security topics like analytics and application security, mobile and cloud security, as well as the Internet of Things, IOT.
Security is a constantly evolving industry.
As professionals in security, we must evolve with it by seeking out new information.
Be sure to explore a few of the websites and blogs we discussed in this video to stay up-to-date with what's happening in the industry.
Coming up, we'll discuss how to become engaged with the security community and ways to establish and advance your career in security.
Bye for now.
