    I recently completed a comprehensive firewall course, and I must say it was an eye-opening experience. The course covered the fundamentals of firewall technology, including types of firewalls, configuration, and management.

    The instructor was knowledgeable and provided real-world examples to illustrate key concepts. The course material was well-structured, and the labs were hands-on and challenging.
