SAIKAT PRABHAKAR
Director Engineering, Guavus

“The Stanford Advanced Cyber Security Program" helped me identify the

multidimensional view one needs to have while thinking about Security. The course
content is competent enough to make you aware of the various technologies and
methodologies in use today. On top of that, the views depicted by some of the
industry experts and mentors helped me understand the correct approaches that
should be embedded in the software delivery model.”

THATO DITSEHO
IT Technician, Assmang Blanckrock mine

“I would like to thank Great learning for the great support they give me throughout
the program. When I started the program, I had little knowledge about
cybersecurity and now there is light at the end of the tunnel. I enjoyed the projects
and the mentoring sessions we had, we learned a lot from the best in the game.
This was a great foundation to start in cybersecurity and I'm looking forward to
becoming a cybersecurity specialist. I enjoyed all 6 topics but the ones I enjoyed
the most were Mobile Security and Network Security since I'm from the network
architecture environment. I would also like to give a special thanks to Vivek for
supporting us throughout the program. Keep up the great work and God bless
you!”

JOSE LEJIN P J
Principal Software Engineer, Citrix

“The course structure was well organized with in-depth content. The mentors were
very knowledgeable with hands-on experience on the topics. I believe the
knowledge I gained through this program will help me in my career.”
