TOP REVIEWS FROM INTERNATIONAL CYBER CONFLICTS
Great course for professionals working in the filed of Cyber Crime investigation. The classes are very interactive with the question patterns.
The course content was great but delivery was a little dry. Appears that the presenters were reading from a teleprompter - sort of awkward.
A detailed account of psychological and theoretical explanation of cyber security issues ,this is a must course to get a holistic learning.
Some readings cannot be accessed. It would be nice if you provide more case studies and explain more about it, so that we can see the whole image clearly.
