This course is designed to give you a practical perspective on computer security. This course approaches computer security in a way that anyone can understand. Ever wonder how your bank website is secure when you connect to it? Wonder how other business owners secure their network? Wonder how large data breaches happen? This is practical computer security. It will help you answer the question – what should I focus on?

You will learn how computer security impacts everyone and how to start to go about looking at computer security, not as a large, daunting process, but as something that can be approached logically and thoughtfully. At the end of the course, you should be able to understand what kinds of topics you should be discussing with your employees, your family, or your co-workers about security in a practical manner.

Notation et examens
Great course about basic concepts of modern cybersecurity. I recommend it to all who doesn't know where start to learn this discipline.
Excelente curso muy bien dictado
Overall the course content was excellent. I disliked the peer-reviewed exercise - there was too much margin for subjectivity when receiving the grade. It also could prevent someone from getting a grade for the course if submissions were rejected too many times (again, could be possible, given the subjective nature of the reviews). It would be nicer for an expert or professor to review the submissions instead.
