Gap Analysis & Roadmap

High-Priority Gaps (chapters with no lab, sim, OR scenario)

Chapter Missing Priority
Ch21 — OT/ICS Lab, Sim, Scenario HIGH — specialized domain, high demand
Ch27 — Digital Forensics Lab, Sim HIGH — hands-on skills critical
Ch30 — AppSec Lab, Sim, Scenario HIGH — OWASP/SAST/DAST practical
Ch33 — Identity Lab, Sim HIGH — PAM/ZTA critical path
Ch35 — DevSecOps Lab, Sim MEDIUM — pipeline skills
Ch37 — AI Security Lab, Sim MEDIUM — emerging domain
Ch38 — Threat Hunting Sim LOW — has Lab 10
Ch40 — Leadership All LOW — non-technical chapter
