\u201cCyber is doing. By Light, CompTIA, and Infosec Learning are a perfect combination for learners who need to go beyond PowerPoint presentations and lectures,\u201d said Tim Grattan, Senior Vice President of Cyberspace Operations at By Light.<\/p>\n

Using the NIST Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NCWF), By Light correlates the tasks, knowledge, and skills for each work role to CompTIA\u2019s industry-leading certifications. By Light\u2019s cyberspace operators then choose among thousands of Infosec Learning virtual labs and curate those that best apply the lessons in each learning module. The result is a seamless, web-based training experience that requires students to demonstrate aptitude for a selected work role and industry certification. Courses may be self-paced or instructor-led depending on the training environment desired.<\/p>\n

The gap between supply and demand for cyber workers in the U.S. continues to expand according to CyberSeek™, a cybersecurity workforce analytics platform. Employers posted 769,736 openings for cybersecurity positions or jobs requiring cybersecurity skills in the 12-month period that ended in September 2022. There were nearly 70,000 cyber job openings in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area for the same period. The By Light, CompTIA, and Infosec Learning partnership addresses this gap and offers a \u201cjob ready\u201d path for those interested in building a career in cyber.<\/p>\n

\u201cRobust cyber defense begins with professionals who are educated, trained, and certified to understand the current threat landscape and the policies, practices, and procedures to counter those threats,\u201d said Joe Padin, Senior Vice President of U.S. Government and Commercial Sales at CompTIA. \u201cOur joint efforts with By Light are aimed at expanding the Nation\u2019s cyber workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
