As a network security professional, the 'Managing Network/Security Risk' course helped me connect technology with business, reshaping how I solve problems in both technical and leadership roles. With guidance from Dr. McElroy, I passed the CISA exam in Spring 2025, marking a key milestone in my expertise in IT risk management.
