Introduction to Cybersecurity Tools & Cyber Attacks is an excellent course offered by Coursera. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the cybersecurity landscape, including essential cybersecurity tools and techniques that can be used to protect against cyber attacks.

The course is taught by a team of expert instructors with extensive experience in the field of cybersecurity. The instructors use a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, and real-world case studies to deliver an engaging and informative learning experience. The course is divided into four modules, each of which covers a specific topic related to cybersecurity.

The first module provides an introduction to cybersecurity and the different types of cyber attacks that organizations may face. It covers topics such as social engineering, phishing, and malware, among others. The second module focuses on the different tools that are commonly used in cybersecurity, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus software. The third module covers the different techniques that attackers use to compromise systems and networks, including denial-of-service attacks, password attacks, and SQL injection attacks. Finally, the fourth module covers incident response and disaster recovery planning.

Overall, I found Introduction to Cybersecurity Tools & Cyber Attacks to be an excellent course. The course content was well-organized, and the instructors did an excellent job of explaining complex topics in a way that was easy to understand. The hands-on exercises were challenging but rewarding, and I feel like I gained a solid understanding of the essential cybersecurity tools and techniques covered in the course.

I would highly recommend Introduction to Cybersecurity Tools & Cyber Attacks to anyone interested in learning more about cybersecurity, whether they are new to the field or have some experience. The course is informative, engaging, and provides a solid foundation for further study in this critical field.

Great introduction for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in cybersecurity without any prior knowledge or degree in the field. May need to do some research by yourself and lookup words just to get the full spectrum of the topic, and sometimes the audio may be hard to follow but thanks to the transcripts you can easily move forward and make notes as the course goes on. Really recommend !

I am a beginner in cybersecurity. This course provides basic knowledge of cybersecurity. But the quality of the video classes and the audio is not up to the mark expected from IBM. But I acquired knowledge of cybersecurity and got to know about sites from where I can download some cybersecurity tools.

It is a good course. Speaks for its purpose.Today I better understand the terminologies and basics after this course. The assessments can be improved. In initial weeks, the assessment questions covered topics that were covered later. Reading material can also be made more fit for purpose than introducing just the websites to look for content in general.
