What is the Network & Security Engineering course about?
Many network and security engineers master theory but hit a wall when implementing at scale. Documentation gaps, inconsistent tooling, and shifting compliance demands slow deployment, increase rework, and limit visibility. The transition from design to execution remains one of the most under-resourced phases in infrastructure projects.
