This course provides learners with a baseline understanding of common cyber security threats, vulnerabilities, and risks. An overview of how basic cyber attacks are constructed and applied to real systems is also included. Examples include simple Unix kernel hacks, Internet worms, and Trojan horses in software utilities. Network attacks such as distributed denial of service (DDOS) and botnet- attacks are also described and illustrated using real examples from the past couple of decades.

Meilleurs avis pour INTRODUCTION TO CYBER ATTACKS
par HIMar 3, 2020
I'm so glad I could complete this course as I look forward to continuing other courses on Cyber attacks. Its been helpful as it gave me the background knowledge as to what is needed in Cyber Security.
par NZJul 26, 2019
通过这门课程，我了解到了Cyber Security的方方面面。不同于其他课程的直接就开始教导技术细节，Edward博士先让我对于Cyber Security有了一个更高层次的理解。\n\n不足之处在于教授的很多东西其实会根据不同的情境、以及不同人的理解会有结果上的偏差，因此对于这方面思维的锻炼，个人感觉稍显不足。\n\n另外，Amazon中国上没法买到From CIA to APT这本书鸭！
par CAJul 12, 2019
This is a very enlightening course outlining various types of cyber attacks and also showing the approach security experts could take to prevent and mitigate the harmful effects of these attacks.
par AAFeb 25, 2018
Great introduction to cybersecurity concepts with relevant supplemental material in the form of journal papers, magazine articles and supporting TED talks and videos. Highly recommended!
par RJMay 2, 2019
It was fun and challenging. There were few areas were in the quiz where I need to google a few terms which I have not heard before. But other than that it was really fun. Learned a lot.
par JEMar 1, 2018
I love this instructor. He makes learning a lot more fun , especially when he gives a real world description of the point he's trying to get across. Well done :) Thanks for this course!
par IJSep 20, 2019
The course is exceptionally well structured and taught. Ed sir is such a good teacher who made learning fun. I am looking forward to the next course in this Specialisation. Thank you !
par SDApr 23, 2018
its a awesome course.it fills us with knowledge and also spread awareness about different types of cyber attacks and how to prevent ourselves. it also adds my skills list to my resume.
par RWDec 15, 2019
It was a really good introductory course. I have had a great insight into the cybersecurity field and also to the business side of cybersecurity. And Ed is a really great instructor
par AAMar 2, 2018
There's an issue with the final quiz. The directions indicate a figure to be referenced, but the figure is not available. How can the quiz be properly completed without the figure?
par RBOct 10, 2018
Great course. Nice overview of frameworks and models to view security with perspective and then develops further on risk models. I felt the final quiz was a little too subjective.
par VRJun 4, 2019
Great Course! I really liked the fact that instead of long videos, there are shorter but many videos. It doesn't make one feel exhausted after watching it. Thank You Dr. Ed!
par SGNov 28, 2019
the course was awesome, it helped me to learn the basics of cybersecurity analysis which as a beginner's mistake thought to be not necessary.\n\nthank you coursera.

It was great, but the support (in the discussion forum) was nonexistent which was not nice. If they improve this, this course will be excellent.
