The reading link to Week 03's Framework and their purpose is Broken. Please Fix it. Everything else seemed perfect. I would recommend this course for people who think of starting their careers in CyS.

With tremendous growth of Technology , cyber attack is now released from everywhere in the world. one needs equip him or herself with the basics of how to counter cyber security attack to avoid loss of Data and some important documents which might cost the company or individual when attacked. there are those that who make their living trough cyber attack and ask for Ransome to clean up your Data. so we need to put up policies in place for our people or users to know and understand more on cyber security. courser has done a good job to be in forefront championing for this education. they have excellent tutors, excellent videos, excellent certificates and they are now leading other institution with Google in this field. congratulations i have been your beneficiary of this and am happy to say or show some Gratitude's to all players in this process.

Big up all God bless you good people. am committed to joining Degree here through you people.

This is one of my dream course which i wanted to learn about cyber-security since my childhood however, i belongs to middle class family and i was unable to afford any fees to any institute even a little amount but, my all dream got possible by requesting the financial aid to coursera ,luckily my financial aid got accepted, i personally wants to thanks coursera to maintaining this platform for all those stundents who wants to learn something new and wanna do something into there life but always money become a barrier for following their dreams, THANK YOU SO MUCH coursera once again it was impossible without you it only got possible by enrolled myself on your website with the help of financial aid.

Me parecio un curso que ocupa mucho tiempo en las descripciones de las tareas con elementos que no van en el analisis del sistema virtual necesario para aplicarse practicando, me refiero a usar programas de ciberseguridad. Pero me parece que esta bien poder iniciarse asi, es bastante entretenido... Gracias por compartir la información que se enseña y pienso seguir al siguiente nivel a ver como utilizar algún programa y aprender a hacer un análisis de datos o según como se conforme el siguiente curso. Pondré un poco mas de empeño en el tiempo que ocupa porque venia haciendo este primer curso hace mucho tiempo, pero me alegro de poder termuinarlo. Un saludo.

I have got to know many terminologies after the course and my skills of auditing and governance has been improved. After that, the instructors are so dmmn pretty awesome, my favourite past of this course is the critical thinking part I love that section a lot. I have found some difficulties while learning about the network based topics cause of my lack of acknowledgement in that particular topic and I have to work for it as well. The cryptography parts are so awesome and recommended reading materials are so wonderfull as well. I enjoyed this course much Thanks coursera and IBM

This course have being quite interesting and it give plenty of resources in order to continue diving into the field of cybersecurity. However, is just an introduction as mentioned on the theme of the course. It goes really into the surface of certain informations such as, professions in the cybersecurity field and what everything consist.

No Hands-On just educational and undestanding history and areas of cybersecurity and attacks. Always consist of also you doing your own search (Helps to understand things better if completely new like me into the cybersecurity theme).

To my mind, it is extremely good course for people who dont know about cybersecurity.This course will help you understand essentials of cybersecurity and different roles in this area,For me it was really difficult to learn this,because of my level of english.I dont have a high level and I dont understand different meaning of words.But you can to turn on subtitles on your native language.It will help you. Although, it is extremely great opportunity to start your career and know something more about cybersecurity.I want to delve into this area.Thanks for this course.

Por se tratar de um curso introdutório, o conteúdo apresentado é completo e de extrema relevância, sem dúvidas aprendi muito com o curso e muitas das informações apresentadas são valiosas e provavelmente irão agregar em minhã jornada. Agradeço a IBM e a todos os instrutores envolvidos no curso, todos demostraram conhecimento aprofundado em suas respectivas funções e especialidades, com destaque em especial para John F. McLaughlin. Muitas pessoas se concentram apenas na parte técnica e esquecem do compliance, esse curso demostra a importância de ambos.

I love cybersecurity field and learning more about it, despite of my long working hours during the week which makes a real challenge to me. I realized that I was drowning in a mess of information and concepts about cybersecurity, but today I have found my path where all information and concepts are organized according to a scientific and experimental method.

Thank you IBM for this great course, and I'll continue this path and register in all security courses that IBM provides.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll be a member of X-Force team.

It is a really good course to learn the foundations of cybersecurity. It provides you with a overall view of the cybersecurity, the main thread actors and different architectures of attack and their corresponding defense mechanishms. Also, there is quite a lot about legal aspects and security policies. After completion, i personally can say i understand quite a lot more than when started. I definitively recommend it if you are looking for a good start. Oh, one more thing, it is very well explain by the instructors. So, well done!

The course is quite an interesting one!eno However, some of the presenters are audible enough in their presentations. What helped me was that I usually download the text of the presentation, print and read for proper understanding.

I am really so happy and grateful to God to have earned my first IBM certificate for the first part of the course! This gives me a lot of encouragement and motivation to continue with the rest of course and I hope to do my best in order to also earn the rest of the certificates.

Excelente curso, lo recomiendo 100%. Contiene conceptos fundamentales de ciberseguridad ideales para introducirse en este campo estudio. Mejoraría algunos aspectos de audio, sin embargo, eso no le resta calidad al contenido técnico impartido. Los instructores son de alto nivel académico y con gran experiencia en su área de desempeño. El curso ofrece una variedad de referencias electrónicas para expandir la informacion. Me dejo totalmente entusiasmado en tomar el segundo módulo de esta especialización.
