Un excelente curso, para clarificar el panorama de la ciberseguridad. Ideal para principiantes y profesionales. Para principiantes, porque ayuda a elegir un camino y muestra cuales pueden ser los resultados. Para los profesionales, porque nos muestra, que es lo que no hemos hecho, que nos falta, para demostrar en los papeles nuestra capacidad en esta área, pero además y creo que lo más importante, es la cantidad de roles diferentes que hay, y que muchas veces, por ya tener un camino realizado, sobre todo aquellos que estamos en empresas pequeñas, no vemos y resulta que seguimos realizando todo. El diseño de las medidas, las especificaciones, los controles, las pruebas, en fin, todas las tareas a cargo de una sola persona. Este es un curso para recomendar, y hacer tal cual está planificado. El mismo dice 7 horas, y está planificado para 4 semanas. Parece muy poco tiempo y realizable en tan sólo un día. A mí, me llevó poco más de 4 semanas, con días de hasta 5 horas leyendo, obviamente no la traducción de los videos, sino haciéndolo a conciencia y obviamente investigando lo que dice cada punto.

Thank you everyone for putting together such incredible content. I am currently enrolled to obtain a BS in IT. I am seeing how the CS/IS/IT/DS et al world connects, intersect and overlap with each field type. So, I am learning, learning and learning as much as I can possible just to gain more knowledge and grow as an individual and future professional in the field of computer science and its subsets. Again, thanks for providing such amazing content and provisional pathways.

This was an overall great course. I like the addition of actual cybersecurity specialists giving thier viewpoints that's a great idea, and the course materials were not daunting. All tutors did great but j just wanted to single out Jim Crume who does an excellent job in breaking down concepts lie wise the others as well. Very much recommend this course.

Excellent information and very easy to follow along. I have very little experience with Cybersecurity, and after getting through this first section, I feel confident with the information and training. I am looking forward to completing this course. I would love to have this certificate to show people.
