Cybersecurity skills have never been more important. With the NEW Cybersecurity Learning Hub from Trailhead, you can learn the in-demand skills needed to empower your career and safeguard your company.

Today’s technological revolution is transforming the way we learn, work, and live. There’s never been a higher demand for all of us to continuously learn new skills to keep up with the rapid rate of change.

In fact, according to the World Economic Forum, 1/3 of all in-demand skills will be new by 2020. That’s less than 6 months away…

But we’ve got your back. Our goal with Trailhead is to ensure that everyone has free access to learn in-demand skills to better their careers, their companies, and their communities.

And one of the most in-demand skills today is cybersecurity.

As cyber threats increase, there is a critical need for individuals skilled in this field. In partnership with the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity, we are thrilled to announce the new Cybersecurity Learning Hub on Trailhead.

Land a top cybersecurity job

Cybersecurity is currently the fastest-growing job market, and it is estimated that 2.93 million cybersecurity jobs will be created by 2021. Plus, more than 50% of companies currently have unfilled positions.

The Cybersecurity Learning Hub not only provides you with Trailhead modules to skill up but also details the various career paths you can land in this job market.

Discover the level of experience you will need and the responsibilities associated with the role so you can determine which cybersecurity job is right for you.

From Security Awareness Specialist to Network Security Engineer, there’s something for all levels and all interests in this growing and exciting field.

Secure your organization, prove your knowledge

No matter your role or industry, cybersecurity knowledge is vital. While cybersecurity threats are on the rise, according to Forrester, only 26% of employees know what to do if there is a breach or attack. This is costing companies an average of $13 million a year.

With the Cybersecurity Learning Hub, organizations both small and large can learn the basics of cyber hygiene to prepare and manage the risks of cyberattacks. As employees, you can learn the skills needed to protect your company from a cyber attack and prove you really know your security stuff!
