While this is an informative video I don't think it should be label as "for beginners tutorial." For one, it wasn't really a tutorial because it was just a teacher with a PowerPoint (could have well been a chalkboard). Second, it just gave information that can easily be searched on YouTube. I understand you're probably on YouTube to promote your courses on "Learnit Training" which is fine but I would try labeling my videos for what they are like maybe "Information on the Cybersecurity Field" might be good. To me, it's like you did some keyword research and targeted this phrase "seeing that it's both in the title and first line of the description" again which is good. A little clickbaity, but still I understand.
