What Certified Professionals are Saying
I felt that the CyberSec First Responder (CFR) exam was a good indicator of the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to perform the required duties of the role(s) the certification is suited for. Having passed several other comparable industry certifications, I felt that the exam covered valuable knowledge not covered by other vendors and assessed the candidates ability to understand and employ the information, not simply memorize answers.
I have earned I believe close to three or four Certifications. All the courses have been informative, but what particularly grabbed my attention was CyberSec First Responder (CFR). This certification course really taught me a lot about the ins and outs of how to respond to an incident. As I get more available resources, I plan on taking more CertNexus Certifications because of the knowledge I have gained from them. Keep up the good work CertNexus!
