Good introduction and high-level overview of cybersecurity. I love the videos of individuals in cybersecurity roles talking about their experiences and teaching about the importance of cybersecurity.

For a foundation course, this one was easy to understand, it explained all basic concepts in a fluid way and built up the base for the upcoming courses. I'm eager to move on to the other courses now.
