Free Cybersecurity Training

 

Federal Virtual Training Environment (FedVTE)

Federal Virtual Training Environment (FedVTE) is a free online, on-demand cybersecurity training system that is available at no charge to for government personnel and veterans. Managed by DHS, FedVTE contains more than 800 hours of training on topics such as ethical hacking and surveillance, risk management, and malware analysis. Course proficiency ranges from beginner to advanced levels. Several courses align with a variety of IT certifications such as Network +, Security +, and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

Veterans who have served and protected the Nation are well-positioned to transition into much needed jobs. To celebrate National Military Appreciation Month, DHS released the Veterans Cybersecurity Training and Education Guide to help veterans enter this career field. Did you know that cybersecurity professionals report an average salary of $116,000? That’s nearly three times the national average. The demand for cybersecurity experts is growing 12 times faster than the current U.S. job market, making cybersecurity one of the most highly sought-after careers in the country.
