Indeed but while checking their website out I saw they offer 14 courses with proof of completion upon passing the course exam!

Are the FreeCodeCamp courses really 300 hours a piece? That would be about 40 hours a week for 8 weeks. That is closer to an actual bootcamp workload. Has anyone actually completed their certifications and can speak to their time to complete?

Yes their material is very thorough with hands-on labs as well! I would highly recommend it.

The IBM badges are great. I've gotten few debating if I should link them to my Linkedin or not.

If you're looking for to land a job that's relevant to the badges you've earned, then add them. Otherwise it's not really necessary.

It depends on your goal but it's safe to checkout the backend, frontend certificates and choosing a programming language you're comfortable with, is always a good start!πŸ€

Technologies are increasingly integrated into the work of the health care structure. This makes medicine progressive and effective treatment. But this poses a threat of cyberattacks to the hospital's servers.

For example, if information about the health of many patients gets on the Internet, this can attract not only drug sellers, but also dangerous people:
ο‚·Black market sellers;
ο‚·Fraudsters;
ο‚·Blackmailers who will try to redeem and disclose data on the health of a person (if we are talking about an influential person).

And many other dangerous people who can harm patients and the clinic. In order for the healthcare sector not to be afraid to introduce modern technologies into its work, it needs to ensure cybersecurity.
