Exploring Advanced Cybersecurity with Simplilearn

After completing my BTech in Information Technology in 2019, I immediately joined Wipro as a security analyst. My key responsibilities were to monitor the company network and report any suspicious malware. I was responsible for keeping the company environment safe and disallowing unauthorized access. I always looked forward to an MTech degree in Information technology. After completing the advanced-level cyber security course with Simplilearn, my company promoted me. I wish to explore new avenues and live the dream of being a successful cybersecurity analyst.

I sought an online advanced-level cyber security course. I was looking for a course that would clear the fundamentals of cybersecurity but would not divert me from my current work area. I researched a lot of online courses. However, there was no flexibility with the pace of learning. Also, the courses available were either beginner-level or advanced-level. So, it was tough to decide which course to enroll in.

I came across Simplilearn’s advanced-level course on cyber security. After going through its curriculum, I was sure this course offered just what I needed. I immediately enrolled in it. Simplilearn allowed me to learn independently and provided access to learning resources 24/7, thus offering flexibility.

This course taught me various aspects of cybersecurity and changed my perspective at work. It upgraded my skill set and knowledge. The instructors led the course perfectly, clearing all my doubts and fundamentals. The skills I learned in one of the capstone projects of Simplilearn I am using today at work. It has improved my confidence. In the internal interview of the company, the interviewers were impressed with my knowledge, skill set and experience. So finally, I got promoted from Cybersecurity Analyst Level -1 to Cybersecurity Analyst Level -2 with a 40% salary hike. I will surely look for more courses with Simplilearn as it was a thrilling and fruitful experience.
