Awesome course! Very interesting course but there is a lot of information to learn. You will need to take detailed notes so that you can use the notes to help expand on new topics and material introduced later on.

Es un curso que te da una introducción muy bien estructurada y que te acerca al mundo de la ciberseguridad desde su interior. Muy recomendable para alguien que no ha tenido contacto ninguno con la ciberseguridad.

Buen curso, cubre los conceptos básicos que cualquier persona debe conocer para iniciarse en el mundo de la ciberseguridad. Mucha teoría y poca práctica, algo que supongo que cambiará según avancemos en el curso.
