Flying high in the Web Security Academy
Summary: PortSwigger interviewed three users of its Web Security Academy who were ranked 2nd, 4th, and 6th out of thousands at the time of the interview, and who had each completed all 197 labs currently available. The piece shares their advice on working through the free Academy's suggested learning path, using lab solutions, and staying connected to the community.
Why it matters: The Academy is free and continually updated, and its top-ranked users describe the learning journey as one that never ends - a reminder that the 197 labs available today are a snapshot, not a finish line, for the people you expect to defend your web estate.
