With organizations worldwide turning their focus to cybersecurity awareness this October, we’re flipping the script! Say goodbye to Awareness Month and hello to Cybersecurity Results Month. It’s time to move from talk to action and start delivering real results, because simply raising awareness is no longer enough to tackle today’s evolving cyber threats. As we kick off Cybersecurity Results Month here at Immersive Labs HQ, we’re curious to know about your plans. How is your team promoting cyber resilience during October? How are you driving results? What programs have you run in previous years? What has worked and what hasn’t? We’d love you to share your insights and experiences with fellow peers and experts, and through that, contribute to the collective knowledge of the community. We’re looking forward to your thoughts!Introductions
Welcome to our new Community, we are so happy that you have joined us and we'd love to get to know you all. Please introduce yourself in this thread by telling us a little bit about yourself and your experience with Immersive Labs and Cyber Security. I'm Kieran, the Director of Community here at Immersive Labs and I'm responsible for fostering this community, and leading our Cyber Million program which aims to help 1 Million people into cybersecurity jobs over the next decade. Prior to this I worked with the UK NCSC to design and deliver the inaugural program of CyberFirst events, a pioneering initiative aimed at inspiring and encouraging 14 - 18 year olds to consider careers in cybersecurity. I'm a member of the UK Cyber Security Council's Qualifications Careers Working Group and carried out extensive research into the UK's Cyber Security Skills Gap as part of my MSc in Cyber Security. I live in South West England, where you can often find me running on the trails, or running after my 7 year old son. I look forward to meeting you all KieranThis Week in The Human Connection: Cybersecurity Results Month - Week 1

Hey everyone, all good? With a background in IT and networking that transitioned into cybersecurity, I've always enjoyed read and studying the subject. This week a friend surprised me with this gift, and i thought i would share it with you. It's a networking book (who doesn't enjoy a networking book right?) trust me, this one's special. The Network basics for Hackers is written by Occupytheweb. He is a cybersecurity and digital forensics consultant with loads of experience has some amazing books in the ethical hacking and cybersecurity community. You might have already read his Linux Basics for Hackers that offers practical, hands-on tutorials that teach essential Linux skills while using hacking tools like Kali Linux. So while I dive into this new book over the next week, I'm curious - what cybersecurity books are you currently reading? Any recommendations?Cyber Resilience Advisors
Welcome to your community. Here, you can converse and ask questions to expand your knowledge of cyber and get the most out of the platform. The title of this post is "Cyber Resilience Advisors." So, what are they, and how do they help? A Cyber Resilience Advisor is a professional who guides organizations in developing and managing their cybersecurity workforce. They may assist with strategy development, talent acquisition, career development, performance management, and training for cybersecurity roles. Their ultimate goal is to ensure the organization has a highly skilled, competent, and effective cybersecurity team to protect against and respond to cyber threats. So, what am I telling you this? Immersive Labs has a multitude of SMEs across a broad spectrum of skills and professions with whom you can interact and ask questions as part of the community. I am a Cyber Resilience Advisor and part of the Cyber Resilience Team. We are on here as well. It is a cliche, but in cyber, we really are in this together; we gain security through knowledge, and here is the perfect vehicle to gain that in conjunction with the platform. I look forward to joining you all in the community and helping make your cybersecurity visions a reality, regardless of your skill sets and experience. As a community, we can accomplish anything. Clem CravenWelcome to YOUR Community!
I am excited to welcome our Immersive Labs customers and enthusiasts to this fantastic new community - another exciting milestone in our partnership with you 🤝 We created this space to foster human connections, so that all of our valued customers have the opportunity to collaborate, communicate, and ask questions directly to us and to other customers 💬 I am truly honoured to be part of this digital journey with you, and I look forward with anticipation to the conversations, ideas, and innovation we can cultivate together💡 Your Chief Customer Officer, Julie
