The flow was a bit herky-jerky, probably a function of the nature of the course. Even for someone who has knowledge of data security, there were some definite kernals to be harvested (pardon the bad pun). Slides had only talking points, the details were only provided by the presenter.

The course was as described providing a high level overview of the basics of Information Security, including the design of networks and various access points. Additionally, a good overview was provided for the potential risks and security measures against them.

Provides the basics of IS, explains why IS and its management are important, explains problems faced when trying to secure corporate information, and provides an overview about how we can secure information in a corporate environment.

Perhaps one of the best intro security courses I have seen. It is also a great refresher to an experienced person to remember not everyone knows the basics, and how to communicate in a method everyone can understand.

In regard to the buffer overflows, I think you should mention the binary payloads associated with this. Maybe talking about malware a little and then reviewing systems for defense in your next course might be prudent.

Good basic introduction to IT security. Would like to know if there is a subsequent course to follow-on for this for some better depth of knowledge.

This course is for those who need a refresher due to not working in the field or for those who have never taken a course on information security.

Someone with a heavy IT background would benefit from this course. For those newer in IT, it would be beneficial to have a more enticing video.
