Which Live Online Cybersecurity Class is Right for Me?
You have several options when it comes to learning Cybersecurity, so we’ve chosen 57 of the best Live Online courses from the top 23 training providers to help you make your decision. But even so, with the variety of considerations including cost, duration, course format, starting level, and more, choosing the perfect course still isn’t that easy.
Here are the key questions you should ask yourself before enrolling in a Cybersecurity course. We hope you’ll find the best option based on your learning preferences and goals.
What level should I start at?
Enrolling in the right skill level is pivotal. Skipping over prerequisites can leave you confused, while choosing a course too easy will waste your time and tuition dollars.
Beginner Courses
If you’re new to Cybersecurity, there’s no need to fear. We’ve found 30 beginner courses, with costs ranging from $995 to $18,000. The top options open to beginners include:

How does live online Cybersecurity training work?
Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.
You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19.
If you attend a virtual training from your home or office, you’ll need a computer with strong internet access and any relevant software installed prior to the course. Most schools provide setup instructions before the course, and some will provide direct assistance.
The instruction takes place via a teleconferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or GoToMeeting, and some schools have their own learning portals.

Learn More About Live Online Cybersecurity Training
Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected assets such as servers, systems, hardware, software, data. Cybersecurity professionals are highly sought after by companies, governments, and organizations to prevent and defend against cyberattacks. Regardless of industry, all of these institutions rely on cybersecurity teams to protect their equipment and systems from information theft and other security breaches. Besides working to maintain and improve the security systems in place, cybersecurity professionals must stay informed of the ever-growing number of threats such as malware, phishing, and ransomware.
Those interested in learning cybersecurity can choose from a number of courses that will prepare them to best meet their company of client’s needs. In these classes, participants will learn protective concepts as well as potential threats so they can configure a system to have an appropriate response. Courses prepare learners for roles such as Penetration Tester and Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst. Students learn theory and also participate in cyberattack simulations.
Cybersecurity Career Opportunities
At the rate that the internet grows every year, and with the growing number of online threats, cybersecurity is a field with immense growth potential. Cybersecurity is one of the core skills needed to secure a position as a security engineer, security analyst, or information technology (IT) security specialist.
A security engineer builds security systems for organizations, looks for vulnerabilities in the system and makes security systems more reliable. A security analyst monitors their organization’s network to prevent attacks on their private data. They must know how to build firewalls to help prevent the threats from happening. Like a security engineer, an IT security specialist develops and implements security measures. Additionally, they analyze the existing security procedures in terms of efficiency and security and recommend any changes to upper management.
Virtual Cybersecurity Classes
Virtual cybersecurity classes are a great alternative for those who would like the flexibility of learning from home. Live online classes are similar to in-person classes in that they are interactive, hands-on, instructor-led classes that take place in real-time. The instructor can answer questions as they come up, share their screen, and even, with permission, access participants’ screens. Participants have the added benefit of taking the class from anywhere that has a reliable internet connection.
There are a number of schools offering virtual cybersecurity classes including Certstaffix Training, Tech Talent South, and Flatiron School. These classes range from 5 days to 4 months.
Certstaffix offers three 5-day options. CISSP: Certified Information Systems Security Professional, a comprehensive course that prepares students for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional exam. They also offer CompTIA Security+ which prepares students for Exam SYO-501 (CompTIA Security+) certification, and CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001).
Tech Talent South offers an 8-week, 6-hour per week part-time program that covers software development and IT operations. Participants learn how to maintain software using AWS, Kubernetes, Agile, and Docker.
Flatiron offers a 4-month Online Cybersecurity Analytics course designed to teach students the skills needed to begin a career as a security analyst, consultant, or tier 1+ SOC analyst. The curriculum includes network and system administration, threat and security intelligence, and event management. The course includes a capstone project in order for students to use many of the skills they learned in the course. The program includes career coaching and job support.
Remote Cybersecurity Corporate Training
Corporate training is an ideal way for a company to offer professional development opportunities to its employees. Whether you already have a cybersecurity team or you’re assembling one for the first time, corporate training can help prepare employees for certification, fill them in on the latest developments in cybersecurity threats, and help them learn new technology. Investing in your cybersecurity today will help your business stay safe from threats down the road.
Some of the schools listed above also offer corporate training, which can be a great option for companies that want a group of employees to learn cybersecurity together. There are also often chances to get a corporate discount when you purchase seats for employees in the regularly scheduled general classes.
