GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project access tokens, and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more information on how to identify and mitigate interruption in our documentation.

* *Theoretical Learning vs Practical Application:* Arguments can indeed be made in defense of both learning models, but in cybersecurity, it's imperative not to limit ourselves to just one approach. We must be able to learn through both theory and practical application.
** *Theoretical Learning:*
*** If you learn by reading only then you may fall into this category.
*** Theory serves as the foundation of cybersecurity education, offering an in-depth understanding of core concepts, principles, and frameworks.
**** Theory explains the rationale behind security measures, enabling informed decision-making and robust strategy design. However, solely relying on theory may hinder practical application, leading to a gap between understanding and implementation.
**** Practical experience bridges this gap by providing hands-on engagement with cybersecurity tools and scenarios, reinforcing theoretical knowledge and cultivating essential skills.
** *Practical Application:*
*** If you learn only by doing "hands-on" then you may fall into this category.
*** Practical Application is indispensable in cybersecurity as it provides hands-on experience with tools, techniques, and methodologies crucial for navigating the ever-evolving landscape of threats.
**** Without practical skills, our ability to effectively translate theoretical knowledge into real-world scenarios is compromised. However, solely fixating on practical application can pose challenges. It may limit our understanding of the underlying principles behind cybersecurity concepts, hindering our capacity to adapt to unforeseen challenges and innovate.
**** An exclusive focus on practical solutions risks pigeonholing us into a single approach, overlooking alternative strategies and leaving us vulnerable to dynamic threats.
** By learning both theory and practical application, we gain versatility in navigating the complexities of cybersecurity. Understanding the theory behind practical applications not only enhances our comprehension but also enables us to adapt and innovate in response to evolving threats and technologies. A balanced approach that integrates both theory and practical application is essential for success in the dynamic field of cybersecurity.
