Gives a clear overview of the different roles and technologies in cybersecurity, though I would have liked more detail on certifications.
Great starting point, very well organized.
A solid overview of security roles and core tech that gave me a clear roadmap, though I wished it went a touch deeper.
El recorrido por los distintos roles de seguridad me ayudรณ a entender por fin hacia quรฉ especialidad quiero orientar mi carrera.
Ik had totaal geen achtergrond in cybersecurity en wist niet eens waar ik moest beginnen, maar deze cursus geeft echt een duidelijk overzicht van het hele landschap. Wat ik vooral fijn vond, is hoe de verschillende gespecialiseerde rollen naast elkaar worden gelegd, zodat je kunt inschatten welke richting bij jou past. De uitleg over de meest voorkomende technologieรซn is toegankelijk zonder oppervlakkig te worden, precies goed voor iemand die net begint. Door de opbouw van de lessen voelde het nooit overweldigend, ondanks dat het onderwerp best breed is. Na afloop had ik voor het eerst een concreet plan voor welke skills ik verder wil ontwikkelen.
Memberikan gambaran yang jelas soal peran-peran di dunia keamanan siber, cukup membantu untuk pemula seperti saya meski beberapa istilah teknisnya perlu dijelaskan lebih dalam.
Solid overview of the field, walks through the core technologies and roles in a way that's easy to follow even with zero background. Some sections on networking basics felt a bit rushed, so I ended up pausing to look things up on my own. Still, it gave me a much clearer sense of which specialization to pursue next.
