WGU has been a pillar in the community of government and military and any true cybersecurity position this community deals with aggregating data. I’m currently an analyst and I live in splunk everyday. Building search queries and monitoring alerts is an essential part of working in a SOC. So why in the world does WGU not provide any certs or a class related to Splunk??

I am currently about half way through D485 cloud security I feel like this class is a joke. Since when does a cybersecurity position deal with RBAC user roles. Whatever happened to separation of duties.

If WGU were to get rid of d485 and replace it with a splunk course, even if it was the “splunk core certified user” or “splunk certified cybersecurity defense analyst” I think it would skyrocket their reputation and the students knowledge base. Not to mention the price. A splunk cert is only $130 compared to a $750 isc2 cert.

Im just venting, but I’d love to hear what you think could make the cybersecurity masters program better than it is now.
