Cybrary.it

Cybrary.it is a new site dedicated to online training on topics for Information Technolgy specilists. thier mission is to provide the very best content for the best price ever; Free! They provide Recommended Additional Study Material for each class as well.

The more interesting part is that you can pay for lab time, this is great if you don't have the resources at your disposal to test and put into practice the lessons you learn.

I have take many of these courses and it has elevated my knowledge and understanding of the topics, and elevated my standing in my employers, and clients, view.

Here is a list of the courses I have completed:

http://www.cybrary.it/course/cryptography/
Here is a short course about a really advanced topic. It was quick but full of very important information. I was able to get a taste of the topic and I look forward to diving deeper into Cryptography. The lab portions were really helpful, i wish the course was longer.

http://www.cybrary.it/course/post-exploitation-hacking/
Another Totally awesome course!! an earlier course i took went great into this, i was happy to take a further look at this topic. I think that this is important and was well deserved to have a course all for itself. i would like to see a course totally about footprinting that i believe is also an important part.

http://www.cybrary.it/course/ethical-hacking/
This was totally awesome course, full of well provided information. Hacking is good, but we want to be nice guys about it. There is a lot of interest in ethical hacking and a lot of courses, most are very expensive and not nearly as in depth as this one.

Another very good Course, would recommend it to all. a good course for those who have a good grip on the previous course. the way the class was laid out was simple to follow and easy to understand.

http://www.cybrary.it/course/computer-hacking-forensics-analyst
Simply remarkable the amount of content, cant wait for the next course i take. Forensics is one of those topics when i would look into it board the crap out of me. This course however changed that view and gave me a knew respect for the topic.

http://www.cybrary.it/course/comptia-casp/
i wanted to take a quicky course and found it to be very helpful on my path to IT security training. So i probably should have taken the security + first, but luckily the SME was easy to understand and presented in a way that could make anyone learn.

Good for anyone wanting to understand the job of  keeping companies secure and following policy. I liked that the SME used current real life scenarios to get her points across, I couldn't believe how many large companies neglect security, and made me think on my own company's policies and our clients as well. I talked greatly with my boss on this topic, he seemed generally insterested in what i had learned.

Good Foundational Course! I finally got to take the ITIL course; i wanted to take this for a long time but to find a good course, with a Subject Matter Expert that knew their stuff and could teach well was a difficult task until Cybrary.it. I am soo excited that i have found this site, and have recommended it to everyone i know.
