Students Reviews

The most important and interesting part of the Geeklurn's Cybersecurity expert course is the practical learning. Learning theoretically helps a lot but practising the concepts builds the base very strongly. Amazing course it is.

I learned so many things in this Cybersecurity expert course by Geeklurn like SQL injections, cookies, etc. I'm really happy that I took up this course. Looking forward to developing more knowledge in this field.

I learnt about Geeklurn from my peers, and since then I have done 5 course programs. In Cybersecurity, I got the exposure to different types of cyberattacks & vulnerabilities and insight into tools used by ethical hackers.

Geeklurn is the best platform to start learning cyber security. This course would be a good eye-opener for people who do not know the fundamentals of software security and cyberattacks. Thank you Geeklurn!

Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile devices did bring great utility in terms of convenience and allowing individuals to be “online all the time.” However, the use of mobile devices for communicating and for sharing data create inherent security issues and add more points of access to the network. Mobile malware threats are certainly growing and a significant security concern with mobile devices is a matter of concern. Additional risks related to mobile devices are that the personal devices being used in the workplace and authentication of the user.
Yes. Cloud services do provide flexibility, scalability, measured service and certain cost efficiencies, but also present additional security risks associated with authentication, access and storage of government and personal data. The total economic cost and different security elements of cloud services needs to be fully understood when evaluating cloud computing in general and the various deployment models (public, private, hybrid, community). Consumer based cloud services used by government workers present additional risks because they may not offer any rigorous security controls.
