Cybrary secures $25M to grow its platform for cybersecurity training – TechCrunch
Summary
But some firms have escaped unscathed, like cybersecurity training platform Cybrary, which today announced that it raised $25 million in a Series C funding round. CEO Kevin Hanes conveyed to TechCrunch that the round, which brings Cybrarys total raised to $48 million, was led by BuildGroup and Gula Tech Adventure and will be put toward developing content and capabilities on the companys platform.Cybrary was launched in 2015 by co-founders Ralph Sita and Ryan Corey (Hanes joined as CEO a year ago). Introducing more products and technology will not help organizations solve this fundamental issue, Hanes told TechCrunch via email. Investing in people is key to narrowing the cybersecurity skills gap and helping to combat increasing burnout and human error. While Cybrary has historically been focused on helping people enter the workforce and earn their fundamental certifications, [recent] additions to our platform allow us to support these individuals in their journey long after they land their first role.
