Good introduction and high-level overview of cybersecurity. I love the videos of individuals in cybersecurity roles talking about their experiences and teaching about the importance of cybersecurity.

I think this is a great start for anyone who is starting from absolute zero. I think that since I've been toying with the idea of getting into Cybersecurity for 2 years now, it was a great refresher!

For someone outside of tech, it is probably a five star introduction. For people who are already in tech not so much.
