The field of cybersecurity is one that is continuously changing and evolving. Each day, new vulnerabilities are being found, and exploits are being developed, thanks to the large group of cybersecurity specialists and enthusiasts working around the world.
 It is essential that you keep updating your knowledge and skillset so that you can keep up with this fast-paced domain. Discussed below are some of the sources of information you can use to do so.
The first and the most obvious way to keep up with any trend, not just cybersecurity, is via social media platforms. You can follow popular security researchers such as Stok Frederick, Bruce Schneier, and Richard Bejtlich on Twitter, as they regularly share tweets about their latest discoveries and cyber events happening around the world. All of them also have other information-sharing mediums such as podcasts, YouTube channels, and blogs, which you can find on their Twitter handle as well.Â
