Kyle van Schalkwyk
When I decided to further my cyber security development, and whilst already experienced in Digital Forensics, I researched the various courses and institutions available. Coming across ICSI, what appealed to me the most was the MSc path that offered not only three highly accredited certifications; Certified Forensic Analyst, Certified Penetration Tester and ISO27001 but also a track to a Master’s Degree.
