Very solid course. Quick overview about almost everything you need to know at the beginning. A lot of useful links with additional material to study. Thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge, indeed!

This course gave me great insights into the network security domain while explaining different types of DB vulnerabilities. A quick revision of my Cyber Security and Computer Networks subjects. ;>

IBM Guardium lectures were too quick to grasp, considering it was a new concept to me.

Although the course was informative, most of the training can be looked up online. I finished this course in 2 weeks and currently enrolled in cybersecurity boot-camp. These courses do give you methodologies and power points without structure. Like narrators sound like they don't want to do it, others can't understand (not because of language barrier) but more of a sound problem.

Yes, there's a bunch of information but what helped me the most was to watch the video, went to YouTube and watched other people teach the class and then researched the topics and take notes. Sure the badges are cool but this isn't a tech based course it's more book based but i will say that if you are planning on taking the Comptia Network or sec+ this course will touch up on the fundamentals.

Pros:

Informative class

Redundancy

very detailed

Cons:

Lack of support

Bad Sound Quality

repetitive information

No clear direction
