What people said about this course

This course has given me more confidence when I am engaging with IT security staff. It also gave me practical advice and help on how to protect our business.

The most useful area for me was the explanation of the types of threats and how they work, the demonstration of how easy it is to potentially disrupt a business was also very powerful.
