About the Course

Data breaches occur nearly every day. From very large retailers, down to your fantasy football website, and anywhere in between, they have been compromised in some way. How did the attackers get in? What did they do with the data they compromised? What should I be concerned with in my own business or my systems? This course is the second course in the Practical Computer Security. It will discuss types of threats and attack vectors commonly seen in today’s environment. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but threats are all over the place! This course isn’t designed to insight fear that there is no hope for keeping systems and business secure, but rather educate you on how attacks are carried out so that you have a better sense of what to look out for in your business or with your systems....

Decent content, but I don't like the peer review projects. It takes too much time waiting for someone else to review it. Give me an exam.

Complete information. But the visuals (powerpoint, narration) could be of a lot higher quality.

style of delivery is very average and reading through the slides.I suggest seeing once New York University Tandon School's videos on cybersecurity delivered by Ed Amoroso.

To be honest, I enjoy learning, what is exciting is the manner in which the course is presented and broken down. The tutor is exceptional and does a wonderful job of explaining in good details the war on-going in the cyber world with real life examples. This course gives a great insight of the threat and attack vectors out there, vulnerabilities that we all should be concerned about and mitigations to help stay safe. My advice is don't hesitate to get it now.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The lectures were clear and just right for a beginner. The course was easy for me because I am not new to Cyber-security, having done courses from other vendors, however, I took the course seriously and was glad I did, because in the end, I earned more than a certificate, but some new interesting knowledge. I am even driven now to research more, influenced by final project.

Covered different types of attacks which we can meet at several cases. Peer review assignment make space for us do a small research on any Data Breach will helpful to have a deep learning on practical situations.
