Attendees comments
Very compact training that covers all relevant areas of IT baseline protection and answers questions. Very good lecturer in terms of subject matter and didactics, supported practical exercises and extensive accompanying materials for self-study - so successful certification was no problem. Highly recommended if you want to acquire a lot of knowledge in a short space of time.

The webinar prepared me well for the BSI-Grundschutz Practitioner exam. The mix of presentations and self-study phases complemented each other very well and provided a good all-round overview of IT baseline protection - even without prior knowledge.
