what cyber training STILL gets wrong in 2026
with Renzon Cruz
Renzon and I both spend a lot of time building and delivering cyber training, so we get into what we think is still missing.
And something that’s much harder to teach: the human element.
We talk about the need for affordable hands-on training built around current threats, why fundamentals are still so important, and why students shouldn’t rush straight into the flashy tools without understanding what’s happening underneath them.
Renzon also talks about his work building training through Guide Them and creating APT-focused blue-team labs with XINTRA.
