With no real proffesional IT background, let alone any real knowledge in cyber security this course taught me a tremendous lot.
For myself I can say this course got me inspired, I will start the next course in the MicroMaster Cyber Security, and maybe I will find myself at the end of the year completing the entire MicroMaster.
Enthralling stuff this cyber security ;-) The contente: "fundamental" and 360 degres around the cyber security topic and whit the essential deeper delve discoverable whitin the "Additionals Resourse".
For example, I recently finished "Introduction to Cyber Security" in FutureLearn and this one is superior, because of the quality of the content, the skills of the instructor (thumbs up to Jonathan!)
This course is a perfect mix of introductory and advanced material on cyber security in particular and networks in general.
