Cybrary, a cybersecurity workforce development platform provider, has hired Kevin Hanes as its CEO. Hanes will succeed Ryan Corey, who will serve as an advisor to the CEO and continue to serve on Cybrary's board of directors.
Hanes will explore ways to help Cybrary grow, operationalize and expand its platform, so individuals and teams develop their cybersecurity skills, according to a prepared statement. Also, Hanes expects to help Cybrary become "the de facto standard for cybersecurity skill development," he said.
