Education Corner Cybersecurity Education is a Hot Topic You may have already heard about the Biden administration’s National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy announced on July 31, 2023. It’s kind of a big deal. One key objective is to address the shortage of cybersecurity professionals in the U.S., which leans heavily into enhancing cyber skills education. At Splunk, we've had our eyes on this for a while, which is why we continue to offer free cybersecurity and skills training – available and accessible anywhere, anytime. We have a curriculum of over 40 free self-paced courses – including our newest, “The Cybersecurity Landscape” and “Security Operations and the Defense Analyst.” Plus, an entire catalog of self-paced training with labs and instructor-led courses. Act Now to Preserve Your Splunk Certified Developer Status! Time is running out! Splunk Certified Developer Certification will be retired on September 30, 2023.

Current certification holders can maintain their badge until its expiration, but consider recertifying now to extend its validity for another three years. Talk with us about Splunk!
