You're listening to the CyberWire Network, powered by N2K.

And now a message from Cyberbit.

Mastering Cybersecurity is like mastering a sport.

You build muscle memory through rigorous practice,

then you train as a team to foster cohesion while operating under pressure.

Like athletes, cybersecurity professionals thrive on hands-on simulation, but traditional courses,

certifications, and open source labs won't build you a winning team.

You need Cyberbit. Cyberbit offers a hyper-realistic simulation environment for your

all using the market-leading Sims, EDRs,

firewalls, and wafts they use every day.

Cyberbit is offering Cyberwire listeners of free live fire exercise.
