SEC504 was very interesting, and Mike Murr was brilliant! The labs were very good and gave me hands-on experience in handling incidents and how an adversary would think and act. Also, the student support was top notch! I had my doubts about this platform, as I really prefer in-person, but the support team was really on top of their game!
Mike does a fantastic job of keeping the class moving, is entertaining, and is full of personal experiences. In moving the class online, SANS and Mike Murr haven't missed a beat!
Mike is exceptional. His presentation is super smooth, and he's ultra knowledgeable.
