Perhaps the best training session i have attended for many years . The lecturer spoke clearly , was succinct ,
,and presented relevant videos to further explain his points.

It is a good course to enable layman like us to understand cyber security

This program has been helpful in allowing me understand how data is transmitted and communicated on the
within the internet, thus identifying areas of cybersecurity risk.

Past Participant


Very interesting course with good examples to help non-cyber trained participants to understand the concept.
