19 Free Cyber Security Certifications in Cyber Security (Offense, Defense, GRC)

I found a golden gem, a ton of courses with FREE certifications.



These are free courses by Qualys, one of the biggest names in security. They are totally free and have final exams at the end of them. They are time consuming, but there is an opportunity to gain some broad knowledge and obtain certifications in the following:


🔵 Vulnerability Management Learning Path:

1. Vulnerability Management (Foundation)

2. Vulnerability Management (Detection, and Response)

3. Global Asset View and Management

ALL of these courses include hands-on lab training and certifications.


This field of cyber security is so different from any other field because you literally have the ability to make your own path and self train. There is no blueprint to be successful in this career. All you have to do is use the resources that are in front of you. Please pass this around the internet for others that are struggling.

It's in your hands now. No more excuses. Go chase it. Which one are you going to jump on first?
