Hopefully, at the end of the process I can make a career transition into this line of work. The professors are knowledgable and their passion makes it seems easier than it really is, but learning such new skills is awesome.

Very good course I am unemployed right now so I can spend the whole day studying and reading the material. I was an IT specialist with the Fed Gov but when they designate you as an IT specialist you dont really do IT specialist stuff, I forgot how much I lost not actually working in my field. Now I am trying to play catch up and change my field to get back into hands on and a field I love which is Cyber security and Pentesting, this course was a nice welcome back home.

Great course to understand the fundamentals of the current field. I'd say it's more business-oriented and you won't find much technical knowledge. But if you want to jump into the Cybersecurity world - you can't miss this course. A lot of great resources and general information with examples will definitely make your future explorations easier. Thanks a lot!

p.s. special thanks to Kenneth Gonzalez as his lessons in my opinion were most entertaining and interesting.

I found this course invaluable. I got to know about the history of cybersecurity, key concepts & key security tools, operating systems and cryptography too. It emphasizes critical thinking as well as the different categories of attackers, and the incident response.

This course provides the crucial fundamental knowledge about cybersecurity. Although subtitles are available, the video and audio quality is poor in some of the modules.

Thank you IBM and Coursera.

II found the course very appropriate for both those who want to start their journey in the area of security and for those who just want to have knowledge about this area.

The course is very accessible because it does not require prior knowledge, although it is an asset to be familiar with computer terms.

The only thing to point out is the fact that in some videos some words are not understood due to "noise" in the communication.

I am thanking Coursera and IBM for providing such a knowledgeable course. It has enhance my knowledge. Those technical definitions with real time examples made me to get involve in this course deeply. I am spending my time usefully using Coursera. My college syllabus is not much deeper in technical and real time implementations. Thus I have started to study Coursera. I would like to share this wonderful MOOC site to everyone.

In the online world, cybersecurity is one of the most important things.Great importance to every society and every country, as cybersecurity is essential at the individual level in protecting personal data, photos, files, videos, personal accounts, passwords, and bank accounts.

This is a really good indroduction to the world of Cyber Security. I now have a basis and desire to learn more as I progress in this fascinating career. This course also gave me resources to stay informed on the latest news and events as it relates to ongoing challenges we face as more of our sensitive information is under threat from predators on the internet. Great first course! Thanks!

A well-detailed course that provides a bird's eye view of the entire cybersecurity domain. It's very beneficial for people who plan to start a career in CYbersecurity.

Lessons provided by the security architect is quite beneficial. If the audio quality of his lessons would have been slightly better, it would make the process of understanding concepts bit easier.

I truly got something out of this course. Time and time again, I've been beat to death the same old "intro to cybersecurity" tid bits that didn't demonstrate actual tools, resources, or guidance on how to get hands-on experience within the specialty I am going after. Thank you so much, I learned 11+ new things from this course. Keep up the great work, IBM

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.
