Open source security tools are no longer experimental or only used by hobbyists. They protect some of the largest global enterprises and critical digital infrastructure. This evolution occurred more rapidly than anyone imagined or predicted.

For today’s remote workforce, security professionals need technical security awareness education distinct from the rest of the company’s “don’t click a phishing link” training. Security analysts know how to recognize phishing emails and set secure passwords. However, where does that leave them when it comes to security awareness?

In our post-pandemic world, more and more individuals are splitting their time between the corporate office and their home office or working remotely full-time.
