This course gave me great insights into the network security domain while explaining different types of DB vulnerabilities. A quick revision of my Cyber Security and Computer Networks subjects. ;>

The content is basic overview of network security. I would say that the lecture videos of the first 2 weeks were just 'okay'. But the practice quizes made the content easily understandable.

I enjoyed this course and also learn alot of things about cybersecurity and injection attacks. many more are about the network and its security is to monitor and resolve by own.
