This year presented us all with challenges we never could have expected. Our vacations were cancelled, our parties were virtual, and most of us started living at work. Isn’t that what working from home feels like sometimes?

Beginning in March, conferences started to get postponed, cancelled or eventually pivoted to a virtual format. Our own (ISC)² Security Congress happened last month online and while we were excited to welcome our largest group of attendees yet, we know that many cybersecurity professionals weren’t able to find the time, or budget, for a conference, even a virtual one. 

As cybersecurity professionals, you work in an industry that constantly evolves with new threats and vulnerabilities being discovered almost daily; therefore, the need for continuing education persists, even in a pandemic, not just as a membership requirement. As a reminder, CPE credits are due at the end of your three-year membership cycle , not annually.

(ISC)² has a team of professionals who produce award-winning cybersecurity webinars for our members. These webinars are free to members and are broadcast live on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, depending on your location. Once the live webinars are complete, they’re available in our archive for on-demand viewing whenever your schedule allows. Each webinar counts for 1 CPE credit. With new webinars coming out weekly, there are many to choose from. To make things a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of the top member-rated (ISC)² webinars this year
