At the beginning of this year we held our 2nd free and virtual Enterprise Knights Days conference where we had many wonderful presentations given by our renowned SMEs on a variety of cybersecurity and resiliency topics. We've since published their Knights Insights PDFs and videos in this user group within the library section and in a collection of blog posts respectively.

I'm happy to announce we now have a course and badge where you can prove your understanding of the risk-mitigating solutions you can learn about in these Knights Insights presentations!

This course is for students, clients, IBMers, and anyone interested in learning about recent cybersecurity and resiliency risks and their mitigation strategies in relation to the z/OS platform.

The course can be found here: https://learn.ibm.com/course/view.php?id=11568
It is comprised of videos and four quizzes, containing 15 questions each, that may grant approval for a badge as long as a minimum score of 80% per quiz is earned.
