I'm thankful to Coursera and IBM to provide this platform to learn many skills, like Cybersecurity, and attacks. It would be very helpful to me and easy to learn from these explanations. It seems a little difficult to prepare those quiz on our own. But it worth it. Thanks

The course was very comprehensive and easy to understand. The instructors made sure that they are giving the information in a way that won't make me confused. Thank you so much for this great course!

Though there is need to be slight improvement in the audio clarity.

Very explanatory. Teaches things u would need in businesses and not only in cybersecurity, but in other parts of the business. Also teaches you that Cybersecurity is a team-work game not a lone man game. Encourages team-work as an essential to success and progress.

Everything was perfect and clear. They just need to update some resources as they are highlighting resources from 2018 mostly. In the cybersecurity world, everything changes very frequently so updating that will be more suitable for learning and adapting knowledge.

I am really lucky to got the information from the domain expert teams.

The content was clear and easy to understand.

There was also an introduction session for every video which brought me to understand the objectives of watching that particular video.

The course is specially good for those who are new to cybercsecurity and want to get some knowledge about it. The subjects and quizzes are well prepared however the sound quality of the videos at times was not so good so I would suggest improving it.

Really good introduction course. There's no coding only key concepts and terms. One bad thing however is that there s 2 specialists that i cannot manage to understand what they are saying. They eat half the words and have sudden surges to talk fast.

Very good course in helping you understand the fundamentals of cybersecurity. If you've always been interested in the field or the industry, this is a great jump-off point to introduce you to new terms and concepts previously unknown to you.

It is a well-written introductory course for Cybersecurity. Recommend for beginners who wish to learn about cybersecurity and those who wants an insight into the "hows" or the execution of cybercrime at a technical level to understand it.
