Many say the best way for us to relieve stress is to simply step away from the keyboard! But, let’s be honest… we’re not that great at this one. Most of us, including yours truly, love gaming or playing with new things that aren’t necessarily work-related but still keep the mind sharp, and that means still being on our computers. Plus, we find ‘just hacking’ to be our escape. AND it’s fun! So… that’s what I’m going to do today. I’m going to play. And by play, I’m going to walk you through one of our new Extended Upskill Challenges (UCx). BTW – Each UCx has VMs and are NameYourPrice with a $0 minimum!
On April 3, Anton showed us how to make your defensive lives easier and more efficient with a live demo of AI Cyber Defense Ops. This course will not help your employer replace you. Quite the contrary. You’ll get job-ready skills utilizing Claude for your cyber defense to make you an indispensable employee! It’s a great companion to the ConDef Ecosystem but also does wonders in your own environment.
John was joined on March 19 by Lynn Dohm (WiCyS) & Will Markow (FourOne Insights) as they released their latest findings from their extensive research on the State of the Cybersecurity Workforce.

Dive in yourself with UC – PowerShell – A primer on PowerShell that preps you for cybersecurity specific tasks, and UC – PowerShell: APIs in PS7 – Learn to parse APIs in PS7 to open new automation ideas.
On Fri Feb 6, John Launched his own course, the long-awaited Dark Web 2 – CTI Researcher! This course is not for the faint of heart.
