Testimonials (1)
I enjoyed refreshing my knowledge on the various subjects on cyber security. I was increasingly interested around cyber attacks, how they happen and what we (as an organisation) could potentially do to try and mitigate any risks. I did raise a question around AI in cyber attacks, and the answer was very in depth and interesting with a live example given on the spot.
