The information taught was fantastic and easily digestible. I've realized that the more I continued piecing everything together, the more it clicked. All of the shared resources were phenomenal, especially the Hacking Google Series. So much information was shared that fit right into the foundational aspect and overview of what Cybersecurity is and where it stands today.

Great into to cybersecurity.

With so much to cover it could easily have become overwhelming.

Learnt lots of new vocabulary and now feel I could at least have a conversation within a cybersecurity team. I might still not know anything very much in depth but I at least feel that I wouldn't totally embarrass myself in that I'd at least know what they were talking about!

There is so much I need to thank Coursera and Google for preparing this set of courses in Cybersecurity.

An outstanding foundation course about cybersecurity. I've learned a lot for someone like me who doesn't have any background on cybersecurity. The course is easy to learn and is of high quality given that it was created by Google. The instructor is easy to understand. I also like those people who have given their time to share their personal experiences.

For me, the course was full of information, educational and useful, with very well explained information and materials, and with enough good tests to see what you lack. The lecturer explained clearly and created a pleasant atmosphere. The only thing I might need is more practical knowledge, but I think that will be needed at a later stage in my studies.

A great introduction to Cybersecurity.

This fundamental course includes a history of attacks in cybersecurity, cybersecurity frameworks, ethics in cybersecurity, and tools used in cybersecurity.

Foundations of cybersecurity courses introduce students to fundamental concepts such as confidentiality, integrity, availability (CIA triad), risk management, threat modeling, cryptography, network security, and access control. Having a strong grasp of these core concepts forms the basis for further specialization and understanding within the field
