"Priyanka Jayakumar is a seasoned instructor. Her  command of cybersecurity, especially in the area of penetration testing  is outstanding. Her delivery skills and demonstration of a wide range  of vulnerability/penetration testing tools during the just concluded CPT  Online Training under the auspices of the Malaysian Technical  Cooperation Program (MTCP) for Africa, Middle East & Central Asia  regions was exceptional. What’s more, her ability to carry along an  international audience consisting of different experience levels was  excellent. Great job Priya!"

Not to  mention, her students must have the utmost regard for her dedication to  ensuring that every student fully comprehends the lessons she has  taught. Her dedication and enthusiasm inspired me to learn more about  the cybersecurity industry. I felt fortunate to be able to join her  class. Thank you again and I hope I can attend her class again in the  future."
