Application Security Analyst Review

Managing external facing application vulnerabilities and supporting remediation.

Yes, my knowledge and understanding of networking, threat vectors, vulnerability specifics and recommendations/mitigations has really developed

The content of the programme is really informative, managing the programme alongside work can be stressful but the benefits of being involved outweigh this.

The programme is well organised and the majority of the training courses have been really informative. Some of the order of the learnings have felt a little mixed, but overall they paint a good picture of cybersecurity.

My employer is very supportive when it comes to the assignments and helping to find the right projects so i am able to meet the requirements of the assignment.

There are plenty of resources online and there is usually a week/3 days worth of training before any exams or assignments are due.

It has boosted my knowledge of vulnerabilities and vulnerability management. I have found some of the assignments to be a bit repetitive which i don't think have contributed to much better performance, but the teaching and resources have had a good impact on my role performance

due to the pandemic these activities have been very limited.

Yes

My organisation has been very supportive, i have started from the bottom and worked my way up. They are really keen to help me learn and develop.
