Un excelente curso, para clarificar el panorama de la ciberseguridad. Ideal para principiantes y profesionales. Para principiantes, porque ayuda a elegir un camino y muestra cuales pueden ser los resultados. Para los profesionales, porque nos muestra, que es lo que no hemos hecho, que nos falta, para demostrar en los papeles nuestra capacidad en esta área, pero además y creo que lo más importante, es la cantidad de roles diferentes que hay, y que muchas veces, por ya tener un camino realizado, sobre todo aquellos que estamos en empresas pequeñas, no vemos y resulta que seguimos realizando todo. El diseño de las medidas, las especificaciones, los controles, las pruebas, en fin, todas las tareas a cargo de una sola persona. Este es un curso para recomendar, y hacer tal cual está planificado. El mismo dice 7 horas, y está planificado para 4 semanas. Parece muy poco tiempo y realizable en tan sólo un día. A mí, me llevó poco más de 4 semanas, con días de hasta 5 horas leyendo, obviamente no la traducción de los videos, sino haciéndolo a conciencia y obviamente investigando lo que dice cada punto.

This was a solid intro to the cyber security field. The course gives detailed expectations about what kind of roles are available, what their responsibilities are, and what you need to do to get into those jobs. Particularly, I appreciate being able to match my interests with related tasks of specific jobs. Additionally, I really like the career path portions. As an entry-level person not necessarily looking to pursue a formal education in cyber security, it was nice to see what my options are to break into the industry and what paths I can take to get to my ultimate goal. My only takeaway is the length of the course. 4 weeks of planned learning seems excessive for a course that only provides you with introductory knowledge of the industry, basic explanations about subject matter, and generalized steps you need to take to get the job you want. I was ready to get right into learning applicable technical skills specific to the industry. With that in mind, this course seemed more geared to someone who doesn't already have a strong in the field.
