    Really bad course. Instructors have poor grasp of English and cannot explain things well. DO not do this! Not even for the "professional certificate".

    A good introduction to cybersecurity topics: ranges from history of cybersecurity events, and general types of attack, to penetration testing and firewall as a method to defence against attacks.
