🎁 Black Friday at Simply Cyber Academy (30% off through Nov 29)

If you've been following the Daily Cyber Threat Brief or the Simply Cyber community, you might know I also run Simply Cyber Academy, an online cybersecurity training platform.

And if you didn't know that existed, well... now you do 😊

This week I'm running a Black Friday sale: 30% off all courses from today through Saturday, November 29. 

Use code BF30 and save 30% 

Here's what Simply Cyber Academy is:

Practical cybersecurity training taught by practitioners (not just instructors who've never done the actual work). Courses focus on GRC and offensive security. Everything is a one-time purchase with no subscriptions or recurring charges.

I built this because I remember trying to break into cybersecurity 20 years ago with no budget for $2,000 training courses. So I keep prices intentionally low, and this sale makes them even more accessible.

Popular courses during the sale:

GRC Track:

✅ The Definitive GRC Analyst Master Class (me): $104 (normally $149)

12+ hours, hands-on labs, complete career roadmap. 10,000+ students.
