As a newer Kubernetes user, I was able to pick up a lot of new information, and it helped cement topics I had struggled with.
Aug 2022
Helped me examine other parts of the security tool chain I may not have spent time on otherwise.

Tim is an affable professor, with a great attitude. When labs were more of an "applied learning", rather than following exact directions, the learning was better.
Aug 2022
Good, real-world examples of why these concepts are important.
Aug 2022
Instructor was engaging, and has a passion for security. I liked learning about additional tools to enhance security, or provide additional security scanning capabilities.
