Overall Satisfaction with Infosec Skills
- Infosec Skills is used in our school program to help provide the fundamental skills, methodology, and hands-on experience to start us on our journey into the cybersecurity industry.
- It is exclusively used by our organization to compliment our lectures as well as reenforce it with hands-on labs.
- Infosec Skills allows us to be able to conduct network vulnerability system scans without consequence or disruption to legitimate business operations.
- It's a great supplement to our course lecture.
- Hands-on exposure to tools and methods are crucial to our learning.
- Infosec Skills also contains all the necessary environments configured to perform the labs easily.
- When taking the quizzes, the question dialog box would always close, causing me to have to constantly click on the quiz I'm taking to get back into it. Long quizzes are brutal to get through.
- Because the dialog box keeps closing, if I missed a question I would not get an explanation or the correct answer.
- There is also a bug that I found, which exposes the answer to the quiz in clear text.
- I've developed new skills and reenforced others.
- Filled in gaps in my preexisting knowledge.
I can't remember which service I was looking into, but I had to hack them to get an invite to join their service. It was an interesting concept but I found it cumbersome and didn't care for it. For my taste, it was not what I was looking for.
The content itself is in line with the course curriculum of our school and helps serve as a supplement to our lectures. The best part is the preconfigured environments that allow us to perform our labs without the distraction, complexity, or financial cost of creating a lab for ourselves.
The hands-on learning that Infosec Skills provides helps build the introductory exposure to concepts and methods that a beginner with no prior experience would be able to follow. Having the labs preconfigured also helps so that students aren't focusing on just getting their environments up and running. If you are a beginner this helps immensely.
