TOP REVIEWS FROM NETWORK SECURITY & DATABASE VULNERABILITIES
Up to this point, the Network Security & Database Vulnerabilities course is the most difficult. So much information addressed in some videos - hard to consume all.
This course was brief only introduction to Network and Database security.
I request Coursera and IBM to launch advanced course also continuing CyberSecurity program.
