A very fundamental and important course at the beginning of your cybersecurity path. I'm actually surprised that it's the final course in the 4-course sequence and not the first one. All basic elements of the network and principals of its functionality are explained very well. Special thanks to Dmitry Beryoza and Ben Briggs for quality lessons and explanations.

I am in school for my BS in CyberSecurity with a focus on Intelligence and Forensic Studies. This course pushed me, and will make me better at my job. This course will ultimately help me to better analyze and detect problems faster, and by doing that I will be able to save companies, or my government millions of dollars in the long run.

This course was as challenging as it was interesting . The courses seem to progress in complexity and I found this quite challenging considering my lack of prior computer systems experience. I'm grateful to Coursera and IBM for this opportunity.

The instructors for all of these modules should have done the first three courses as well. You could hear them and they spoke as if they loved what they did for a living, instead of sounding like they were teaching because they were forced.

A straighforward course. Databases were a relatively new concept but the first half of the course was all too familiar as I have encounters the concepts in Google IT Professional. A short and concise course!
