Great course for beginners and experts. Easy to understand and a good refresher for those who have been into IT for a long date. Recommend it to everyone looking for a high quality course on coursera.

A very comprehensive look at IT Security. I've learned everything from encryption and decryption to whitelisting, and how it pertains to real-world scenarios. Very useful to learn when it comes to IT.

This is the worst course I have taken on your website so far. A ton of information and different terms being thrown at me very quickly without going into any real detail. I feel I have learned nothing.
