About the Course

Most introductory or beginner level cybersecurity courses are not truly beginner level. Most of them assume some level of technical competence and expect that cybersecurity is not your first technical job role. However, as I've successfully mentored people coming from fields such as nursing, aviation (an airline pilot!), and real estate, I've learned that these people are underserved as far a true introduction. This Learning Path is an answer to that gap....

This course gave me a clear understanding and a very good foundation to cyber security! Also, Keatron is the best tutor!

Week one videos are not correct according to the title. Where cyber security should be explained videos of week 4 about how to work with AWS are shown making the week 1 quiz irrelevant to the content. Regardless the course is very informative and I explanatory. Learned a lot from it and would want to learn more. Thanks to the instructor for the course.

It's a mind-blowing course and I look forward to taking all Keatron's courses here on Coursera. That's how fired up I am! I love the hands-on practicals because I learn best with practicals. Thank you for the course, Sir.

For some reason I could not find some of the answers textually given from some questions, like the e.g how many files does the average US employee have access to? what videos mentions that? and other few.

I was totally clueless about cybersecurity. But I strongly believe that this is the skill to boost my legal career. I must say I am forced to leave a review because the K. Evans was very specific with the concepts and the lessons were short and interesting. if the videos were merged together into one long clip, I probably would not have got much. The short clips did the trick. And I also loved how he related the industry demands for this skill. As a lawyer-in-training for practice, this skill will help me save tons of dollars for my firm, shorten the length of forensic investigations and also limit how much data my firm has to expose ro an outside forensic investigator in the prosecution of a case. This is just the beginning but I am determined to take my time, to build a solid foundation as he suggested. Highly recommended!

At the time when I took this course, the videos for week 2 and the videos for week 4 were the same.

Very practical course, but entry level.

The "Cybersecurity Fundamentals" part (week 2) contains the videos from "Cloud Computing Fundamentals" part (week 4)

This is a more than decent intro into the world of cybersecurity. However, one of the main reasons you should take this course is because of Keatron's educational skills. He is an educator pur sang. He knows what he is talking about and presents it in a light and easily understandable way. But the main point you take away from this course is that the only way to be really successful in this field (or any field for that matter) is by slowly and steadily building up your knowledge and skills; no shortcuts. You have to put in the work. Finally, I want to nominate Mr. Evans's divine MS paint skills for some kind of special award. They are what really lift this course up and put it on to another otherworldly level! #oscarworthy. Thank you Mr. Evans. ;-)
