Testimonial
"Paul and Mubin recently taught the RCCJOA course at Novetta. I would highly recommend this course to gain a better understanding of Islam from its beginnings, radicalization, and hearing first-hand accounts from Mubin Shaikh who was key to taking down the Toronto-18. The end of the one-day course included hands-on training utilizing Maltego and performing analysis against Syrian Electronic Army-associated malware. Excellent training from two highly polished individuals. Thank you for coming to Novetta Paul and Mubin! It was an absolute pleasure meeting and speaking to you both, especially our chats after training had wrapped up." -Robert St. John, Technical Director, Novetta.
