I will still be sending out the “Free & Affordable Training News Monthly” at the end of this month with the newly launched training, but there are so many good DFIR and OSINT deals going on, I couldn’t resist highlighting them. If you want to see a list of all deals, they are located on the Current Discounts page of the Free & Affordable Training site. That list is updated year-round. Everything on the Free & Affordable training site is under $1,000 so that’s what I’ll be highlighting here as well. Can’t afford the deals? I’ll also be letting you know about any free options available related to the discounts.

Note: Purchases made through affiliate/partner links and/or using personalized discount codes is one of the things I rely on to be able to keep this website running. I am an affiliate or partner of the following companies, and references to them contain affiliate/partner links: Apress/Springer Books, INE, LetsDefend, Pluralsight, TCM Security, The OSINTion, and Amazon.
