Cybersecurity training course aims to help meet the growing job demand - PARESH DAVE, LA Times

Help is wanted in the cybersecurity field — and not just on the board of directors. As computer hacking grows more pervasive, so does the demand at all levels for workers skilled in the field. And where there's a demand, there's a start-up looking to meet it. Cybrary is an online cybersecurity training website that launched in January, and already, the company said, 150,000 people have participated. Like many start-ups, Cybrary aims to fill a market gap with a better, quicker and cheaper service. For now, its courses are free to individuals. Businesses pay a few thousand dollars a month for access to specialized courses. About two dozen businesses and schools have subscribed. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-cybrary-agenda-sidebar-20150817-story.html
