It should have some practical assessment with some domo application and report analyzing.

By John Weitzel on 11/29/2024

I thought it a great course, but a bit outdated since it was released in 2015... the fundamentals are still the same I think, but would have been more enjoyable with current toolset items ID'd.

By Michael Efenaro on 6/12/2024

This course is very interesting with lots of technical information. The resources provided for each of the modules is really very helpful in understanding the concepts.

By Anonymized User on 1/29/2024

many of the contents are from 2015 and reader should have their own objectives clear before enrolling in to this course. if you have done CEH or Security+ many of the things you are already familiar with. i think the author do need to refresh the overall content as per the latest trend.

By Anonymized User on 11/14/2023

I did not like that the lecturer simply read the text from the slides. Slides should contain main bullet points and not be full of text. Instead, this material should be available as a workbook. Main problem is that this information is definitely old and should be updated. On the positive side, I did like the explanations for the attacks.

Course was a good match I was able to learn about different tools used for ascertaining vulnerability assessments

By Josh Beckett on 3/31/2023

This is a good match as I work in this area of the industry. However, this is one of very few classes on this topic and it is outdated. The fundamentals are the same however.

By Salvatore Rizzuto on 2/3/2023

Good brief introduction to the vulnerability assessment process. About the last 2 sections, I would have preferred to focus on just one tool, but going more in detail in what we can get from results

By Ricardo Beltran on 12/23/2022

I sure would have liked to take this course before taking the CISSP exam. Great details and easy to follow instructor along.

By Juliana Soo on 9/15/2019

Course was easy to understand for non-technical people and the presenter was interesting. However the examples used should be updated as those were outdated e.g. windows XP and 2000.
