Gain the real-world experience of cybersecurity analysis employers look for with this hands-on capstone course.
In this course, you’ll analyze real-life breach response case studies in areas such as phishing, vishing, point of sale (PoS) breaches, insider threats, AI-related breaches, and ransomware attacks. You’ll discover how attackers exploit vulnerabilities and how organizations respond and prevent future incidents. Additionally, you’ll gain expertise in incident response, digital forensics, penetration testing, and compliance through engaging case study analysis. You’ll complete several hands-on activities to assess response strategies and propose improvements. The course concludes with a final project, where you’ll select a real-world data breach, identify vulnerabilities, and assess the root cause, actions taken, and response strategies. Plus, a structured template will guide you to critically record observations and propose actionable improvements for breach management. This capstone course is a fantastic experience to talk about in interviews! If you’re keen to add practical cybersecurity experience to your resume, enroll today to complete this valuable capstone project in just six weeks!

I loved the junior cybersecurity analyst certificate offered by IBM and it is a previliege to collect the IBM badge.

Great course the material is now dated 2023 and it could easily be made relevant with up to date links. Some coursework could you use more detailed slides - I had to rely on transcripts
NK
It's been an great opportunity to study this course and knowing about the industry behind it and Thank you for the lectures for teaching, I had a good time studying.
AA
Thank you who contributed to building this course. I benefited from it a lot of valuable information
MR
Good exercise to use skills and information obtained through this course to do a real world data breach review.

Course was great but some of the MCQs appeared to have been made by someone else, not the instructors, and they were clearly incorrect based on misunderstanding the content.

This is a really good test of understanding and complexities of real-world breaches. Not difficult but certainly not easy either.

I find this course to be the most useful in terms of practical application. Some of the previous courses felt a bit bogged down by the technical aspects, but I guess this may be unavoidable.

there wasn't any teaching. Just someone reading to you.
Excelente curso, muy practico y dinamico, los laboratorios en linea de IBM son una excelente manera de practicar los eventos del mundo real. Muy bueno lo recomiendo 100%
I strongly recommend this course for any one/person interested in going into cyber security either as a trainer or practitioner.
too dificult to make an report or project but it was good experienced.
Very good material. It is interesting to create a case study.
It was challenging to find enough material from open sources which can help you built up the scenario.
Great I like It especially the Case Study Attack Report
Content is Very good. Although the Admins could look in to the peer-review process, its very slow and people have to wait days. Of about 100 posts in the discussion forum, more than 95 are people asking why their assignments are not getting reviewed.
thank you, very informative course
This could be a part of another course, is like they run out of material and create a 4 week course justo to charge you more. 5 to 10 obvious questions for each 5 case studies, then the peer graded assignment that is just filling a powerpoint template, I work hard on that template, and people just upload random PDF's and two times they upload my own assignment, I report them but I think most of the people pass with just random content or plagiarizing. Peer graded assignments doesn't work anymore.
Clever assignment. But, the instructions for grading fall short. I have a feeling my comments were not committed when I submitted when I should have clicked to add a comment. I also have a feeling the assignments are not really someone else's actual work. One submission was extremely bad - so bad as to suggest that it was a plant. But, whatever, I did my own work with diligence and that's what matters.

The best part of the course is the investigative work though it is an online web research in articles it is done with the vision of the knoweldge acquire through the different courses

Good exercise to use skills and information obtained through this course to do a real world data breach review.
Great course for beginners in Information Security
Thanks
The information in the courses (week 1-3) was very interesting and helpful. Unfortunately, this course requires essay answers to some of its questions and does not provide a ruburic for how things are graded until you are done answering.
In addition, the Capstone project does not give clear instructions and again, hides the grading scale until after the project is submitted.
I would not take this course again if needed.
peer reviewed assessments are not great, many people just submit junk
As an Engineering student with a keen interest in cybersecurity, taking the "Cybersecurity Capstone: Breach Response Case Studies" course has been an invaluable experience. This course dives deep into real-world scenarios of cybersecurity breaches and the critical strategies employed to respond effectively. One of the most compelling aspects of the course is its practical approach. Instead of theoretical concepts alone, the course focuses on case studies that bring to light the complexities and challenges faced by cybersecurity professionals during breach incidents. These case studies cover a range of scenarios, from data breaches in large corporations to targeted attacks on government institutions, providing a comprehensive view of the cybersecurity landscape. The course structure is well-organized, starting with foundational knowledge on incident response frameworks and methodologies. It then progresses to detailed analyses of specific breach incidents, dissecting the timeline, root causes, impact assessment, and most importantly, the response strategies deployed. Each case study is presented with meticulous detail, allowing students to understand not only what went wrong but also how effective responses were formulated and executed. The learning materials are enriched with practical resources such as simulated incident response exercises, which simulate real-time scenarios and challenge students to apply their knowledge in a controlled environment. This hands-on approach is crucial for reinforcing theoretical concepts and preparing students for the dynamic and fast-paced nature of cybersecurity incidents in the real world. Furthermore, the course benefits greatly from the expertise of instructors who are seasoned professionals in the field of cybersecurity. Their insights and firsthand experiences enhance the learning experience, providing valuable industry perspectives that go beyond textbook knowledge. In conclusion, "Cybersecurity Capstone: Breach Response Case Studies" is an exceptional course for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of cybersecurity incident response. It not only equips students with practical skills and knowledge but also prepares them to tackle the complexities of cybersecurity breaches with confidence. I highly recommend this course to Engineering students and cybersecurity enthusiasts alike who are eager to explore the fascinating and critical field of breach response.
