ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Veterans Day, the Warrior to Cyber Warrior (W2CW) initiative today announced that Veterans and Active Duty Military will be entitled to take one exam in the Cyber Certified Experts (CCE) Program free of charge. Made possible through a generous donation from the Lunarline School of Cyber Security (SCS), this free online certification will be available for one year starting November 11th, 2016.
"Here at Lunarline we don't just protect our clients. Through the W2CW Initiative, we work hard to protect those who protect us," said Waylon Krush, W2CW founding Board Member. "As a Service Disabled Veteran, it is my privilege to partner with the W2CW Initiative and to honor Veterans Day by providing free cyber security certifications to Veterans and Active Duty Military. By equipping them with CE Certifications, we can help our Active Duty Military fight back against modern cybercrime. This also provides Veterans leaving Active Duty the credentials they need to thrive in the civilian world."
The Lunarline Cyber Certified Experts Program helps professionals prove to employers that they have what it takes to tackle the hardest challenges in cyber security. Through this Veterans Day offer, Veterans and Active Duty Military will have access to nearly three dozen Certified Expert Certifications covering every conceivable cyber discipline, free of charge, a $350 value.

Be sure to review your desired certification for any minimum experience requirements.

This certificate can later be upgraded upon obtaining the required experience. While annual certification renewal requires 20 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) and payment of a $75 certification renewal fee, under this program we are waiving renewal requirements for Active Duty Military and Veterans for one year.
