Case Study: VirtualArmour boosts SOC team skills and training efficiency with Cybrary

How VirtualArmour Empowers SOC Teams Through Personalized Skill Development

VirtualArmour, a global managed security services provider, needed a more strategic way to develop its SOC teams. Their ad hoc, vendor-specific training was expensive, limited participation, and made it difficult for managers Jon Chaplow and Peter Minza to identify skill gaps, measure competency, and guide career growth across their network security engineers and cybersecurity analysts.

VirtualArmour partnered with Cybrary and its team learning platform, including expert-led courses, virtual labs, certification practice tests, and SOC Analyst I/II skill assessments, to benchmark skills and build personalized development plans. With Cybrary, the company saved thousands in training costs, logged more than 100 learning hours in the first three months, improved team engagement and efficiency, and reduced the time managers spent coordinating training and certifications.
