I had a great experience studying Cybersecurity with Coursera. It's a really nie course and it cover the majority topics about cyber. Thank you!
Great intro to what cyber security is. The talking was quite robotic but its was presented in an understandable way. This course is a great starting point.
The course covers the basic and the important points both . Easy to understand and good for beginners.
This is a great basic course for those without a lot of technical knowledge. It gives a good overview of cybersecurity practices in a large or medium-size organization.
