Jean-Evrard Dominice
I completed the Certified Security Professional (CSP) course to gain deeper insights into the daily challenges and issues faced by cyber specialists, particularly in the context of evaluating IT companies for the many investment cases I handle as a Venture Partner. The course is delivered by practitioners who deal with cyberattacks daily in the companies they advise. They generously share their expertise, including practical tips and the tools they use. The CSP course is an excellent choice for anyone seeking to enhance their practical knowledge in one of the most mission-critical areas of the digital economy. Following the SCI preparation, I successfully passed the ISC2 exam, which provided me with a strong framework to address the real-world challenges encountered by cyber defenders.
