The Google Cybersecurity Professional instructors are excellent! They provide clear explanations, effective communication, and use graphical descriptions to make complex concepts easy to understand.

Pretty good overall, very wordy, I think it would benefit from more demonstrative visuals, such as labeled boxes and arrows being shown on screen. Otherwise, very good, and definitely very dense.
