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 CravenHappy Holidays from Immersive Labs
