Having three industry leading experts explain the intricate landscape they have built their careers on was an important aspect of our ongoing class discussion. Sam, Saravana, and Johnson were patient with our questions and made sure to dive into the details of cybersecurity foundational practices. While our questions led the discussion the three industry experts made sure to cover specific topics that we had been taught in our coursework. This made us students understand the importance of our teachings in a completely new way.
Once again, thanks Sam, Saravana and Johnson from Crypto.com for enlightening our students.
