Reviews
Oct 2024
This is a very detailed course, and it explains software implementation and best practices thoroughly.
Oct 2024
The course provided an insightful first look into important security topics for someone coming from a development background, but also the other way around, i.e., someone that is in the security realm but wants to have a deeper knowledge of which implementation challenges developers can have, and how to tackle them.

This course provided actionable information that was clearly explained.

I knew a lot of it already, but some of the information was new, and it was really good to have it all wrapped up together. I've been recommending this course to my colleagues.

Self-paced and very relevant to my daily work.

I liked the specific examples of the attack in real life.
May 2023
Very clear and well presented content. Jargon explained really well, so I wasn't left feeling that any topic was still just a mystery.

I liked the real-world examples.
