Nikolaj Iliev Bachelor in Informatics and Computer Science, VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar"
Please allow me to express my gratitude for the opportunity to attend the master class in Security Management in E-Payment & E-Commerce organized by the university. The topic was of current interest because of the dynamic environment and the provocations that have become a daily life in the companies in Bulgaria. The problems of information security have been increasing and they are apparent also in the company for which I work.
The lecturer Erich Gassner demonstrated many interesting and modern methods for dealing with these challenges and solving the problems of information security. This master class gave me the opportunity to learn from the experience of a lecturer - practitioner with international experience. I would be happy to attend other master classes related to information technology and organized by Varna Free University "Chernorizets Hrabar".
Borislav Dimitrov Bachelor in Informatics and Master in Software Engineering, VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar"
I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be an attendee in the class in IT security. I learned a lot of new things. I noticed that the latest solutions and applications related to electronic payments were included in the presentation which is very useful for me because I have never taken advantage of platforms such as ePay. The lecturer - Mr Gassner is a person who works in this field and his advice is of great benefit. I hope that you will organize another such class, mainly for people who do not have a degree in IT and have not studied protection of electronic payment and personal data on the Internet.
Veselin Nedyalkov Bachelor in Informatics and Computer Science, VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar"
