The course is a good match for me because I studied Computer System and Networking. In order to further my studies I decided to go for Cybersecurity course.

By Ipeleng Makabe on 4/8/2026

Excellent course for me as a beginners and someone who wanted to have an idea on Cybersecurity.

By Anonymized User on 3/26/2026

This course is extremely outdated and multiple pieces of software listed are no longer supported. The content in the course was good for it's time, but needs to be updated.

By Rafeal Eberhardt on 3/23/2026

Reason for choosing 5 star is because of the tokens you gave to detect if people are in the systems which is a plus of information. I just hope it works!!!

By David R Boshard on 2/2/2026

I found the course to be interesting and informative. I am CompTIA Security+ certified and ISC2 CC certified. I'm intending on getting my CISSP cert.

So far I'm learning a lot, great information. Waiting to see if there are any practical parts to this training

By Tadeu Vaccari on 1/15/2026

The communication is very clear and the course offers great value for understanding key cybersecurity concepts. It would be even better with some content updates, such as refreshing a few resources, fixing broken links, and updating some of the software videos, as many were recorded back in 2015. Updating these materials would really enhance the learning experience.

By Victor Arizmendi Fragoso on 11/21/2025

Se explica de forma sencilla como se puede colocar una trampa para detectar si algún hacker trata de obtener información valiosa y sensible en mis recursos informáticos.

By Daniel Dobre on 10/7/2025

Clear communication, great value for concepts in cyber security. But some content is dated, broken urls in the resources, video presentations of recommended software recorded back in 2015.
