As an experienced Cybersecurity expert, I've changed a few roles and seen different approaches to security, mainly in large corporations. I'm happy to provide insight into how those systems operate, and more importantly, how they're secured. You will learn that it's not all about advanced technology you hear about these days, but also about people, processes, education, and analytical thinking. I truly hope you will find value in these lessons, and feel free to reach out shall you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas to share.
Later on, I will add tests in between lessons, including some additional information on differences between all the security disciplines: infosec, cybersec, physical, fraud...
Who this course is for:
- This course is for anyone interested in learning the very basics of InfoSec. Explanations are meant even for those who hear these terms and concepts for the first time.

As a computer science teacher, I created several e-learning courses and my students loved it. I quickly realized that even the best students used these materials, as they preffered knowing that they'll be able to review any lesson at any time (especially before exams ;)). This inspired me to create simple, straight to-the-point courses even for advanced subjects.
I left my academic career for a job in Cyber Security, in a multi-national Telecom. Now I'd like to share my knowledge, so if there's any security/network topic you need help with, let me know and I might be able to create a course!
