The course was wonderful and the trainers were upto the task. They did a brilliant job. Thank you for making me understand what cybersecurity is all about.
Incredible course, I have learnt soo much, this course has been tough at times but is so rewarding. Thank you to all involved in making this course.
awful waste horrible audio and no real content waste of time. the course only focuses on you memorizing different certifications to take expensive exams, also memorizing roles of tons of cyber jobs when most of them share 85 percent of the responsibilities. this does not make logical sense as a first course in a 14-course program. I felt it was more of a discredit to Coursera certs and more trying to get you enrolled in others. the IBM certification is the 4th program I have taken out of my planed 7, I am uncertain how any of course one would help a beginner it just causes confusion and the expectation on planning your cybersecurity career based on what experience you are taught nothing in course one. the course should have been 13 if included at all because that's where it logically fits in not first.
if we need more cybersecurity certificates then why we taking this?
Bonjour à vous toutes et tous, chères Professeures et chers Professeurs, Je m'appelle Muharrem Shabani. Je viens du Kosovo, et mon parcours s’inscrit dans les domaines de la politique internationale, des affaires économiques et sociales, ainsi que dans l’enseignement de l’histoire et de la géopolitique des Balkans. J’ai choisi de suivre ce cours IBM Introduction to Cybersecurity Careers afin de renforcer mes connaissances dans le domaine de la cybersécurité, un enjeu de plus en plus essentiel dans les relations internationales contemporaines. Je suis particulièrement intéressé par l’application de la cybersécurité dans le cadre des organisations internationales, notamment pour mieux comprendre les défis numériques auxquels font face la diplomatie et les relations interétatiques. Je suis convaincu que ce cours contribuera à enrichir mes compétences en analyse géopolitique et stratégique, et qu’il me permettra d’apporter une valeur ajoutée à mes responsabilités actuelles en tant qu’ambassadeur et président de la fondation Mission SKUN, une organisation suisse dédiée à la reconnaissance internationale du Kosovo auprès des Nations Unies. Notre fondation est représentée à Genève, New York, Vienne ainsi qu’aux États-Unis. Par ailleurs, j’exerce en tant que Professeur chargé des affaires politiques, économiques et sociales, et j’enseigne l’histoire et la géopolitique des Balkans à l’Université de Genève. Je me réjouis de suivre ce parcours avec vous, d’apprendre aux côtés de mes collègues de classe et de partager nos expériences respectives dans un esprit de collaboration et d’enrichissement mutuel. Avec mes salutations distinguées, Muharrem Shabani SKUN Foundation – Site officiel
Bien le bonjour à mes pairs, Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement les professeurs DeeDee Colette, Jeff Crume, Manish Kumar, Rav Ahuja, ainsi que toute l'équipe pédagogique d'IBM, pour les cours de la spécialisation "IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Certificate". Cette formation a été extrêmement enrichissante et m'a permis d'acquérir des connaissances solides et précieuses en matière de sécurité des actifs numériques, qui constituent une base réelle pour une carrière lumineuse dans le domaine. Je souhaite souligner la qualité des différents quiz notés et non-notés, les laboratoires pratiques, qui se sont révélés très utiles pour appliquer concrètement les notions apprises. Toutefois, je me permets de proposer une amélioration : introduire une nouvelle variation des questions et des réponses à chaque tentative. Cela rendrait l'exercice encore plus engageant et favoriserait une meilleure maîtrise des concepts. Enfin, je suggère l'ajout d'un cours de synthèse, un "Put it all together", qui permettrait de relier les différents concepts et outils enseignés. Une telle initiative offrirait une vision globale unifiée de la cybersécurité (ce que vous avez fait étant déjà assez exceptionnel) et surtout du poste en lui-même, ce qui serait particulièrement bénéfique pour les apprenants. Merci encore pour cette excellente formation et pour votre dévouement à transmettre des connaissances de grande valeur ! Valère Firmin KAMBO TAMBA
Un excelente curso, para clarificar el panorama de la ciberseguridad. Ideal para principiantes y profesionales. Para principiantes, porque ayuda a elegir un camino y muestra cuales pueden ser los resultados. Para los profesionales, porque nos muestra, que es lo que no hemos hecho, que nos falta, para demostrar en los papeles nuestra capacidad en esta área, pero además y creo que lo más importante, es la cantidad de roles diferentes que hay, y que muchas veces, por ya tener un camino realizado, sobre todo aquellos que estamos en empresas pequeñas, no vemos y resulta que seguimos realizando todo. El diseño de las medidas, las especificaciones, los controles, las pruebas, en fin, todas las tareas a cargo de una sola persona. Este es un curso para recomendar, y hacer tal cual está planificado. El mismo dice 7 horas, y está planificado para 4 semanas. Parece muy poco tiempo y realizable en tan sólo un día. A mí, me llevó poco más de 4 semanas, con días de hasta 5 horas leyendo, obviamente no la traducción de los videos, sino haciéndolo a conciencia y obviamente investigando lo que dice cada punto.
Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Жамшид Дусмуродов, и я искренне заинтересован в сфере кибербезопасности, потому что считаю её одной из самых актуальных и важных областей в современном мире. С каждым годом информационные технологии становятся всё более интегрированными в нашу повседневную жизнь — от личных данных до государственных систем. Это делает вопросы защиты информации особенно значимыми. Моя мотивация связана не только с интересом к технологиям, но и с желанием решать реальные, значимые задачи — предотвращать кибератаки, защищать людей и организации от угроз, обеспечивать безопасное цифровое пространство. Я люблю анализировать, изучать уязвимости и находить способы их устранения. Для меня кибербезопасность — это не только профессия, но и возможность приносить пользу обществу, предотвращая потенциальный вред. Кроме того, я увлечён постоянным обучением, а кибербезопасность требует именно этого — она стремительно развивается, и каждый день даёт повод изучать что-то новое.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the IBM and Coursera team for developing this exceptional course! As a multi-potential professional with over 30 years of military experience (including 20 years of experience with documents), a certified business analyst, and a UI/UX designer, I find this course incredibly valuable. The curriculum is built perfectly. It seamlessly connects corporate compliance, data governance, and practical security frameworks. The interactive hands-on assignment with AI coach Sophia Carter is an absolute masterpiece that helped me hone my strategic 90-day action plan, target my CompTIA Security+ and CISA milestones, and structure my future career as an IT auditor. Thank you for creating such an accessible, high-quality, and highly motivated educational ecosystem that respects and empowers diverse professional backgrounds. This course gave me the absolute confidence and tools to build my digital portfolio “shield.” Highly recommended!
Thank you everyone for putting together such incredible content. I am currently enrolled to obtain a BS in IT. I am seeing how the CS/IS/IT/DS et al world connects, intersect and overlap with each field type. So, I am learning, learning and learning as much as I can possible just to gain more knowledge and grow as an individual and future professional in the field of computer science and its subsets. Again, thanks for providing such amazing content and provisional pathways.
This course provided a clear understanding of the Cybersecurity field is and what a candidate can expect and look forward to. It explained various roles, their responsibilities, required skills, potential pay, certifications, education, and experience. The course provided a lot of insights that are essential for anyone considering entering Cybersecurity. It will definitely help individuals make informed decisions when entering the field.
I found this course to be very informative and useful in understanding the fundamentals of cybersecurity careers. The modules on technical skills were particularly helpful, as they provided clear explanations of key concepts. However, I would have liked to see more in-depth coverage of practical examples or case studies. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone starting their career in cybersecurity
this course is really good and give essential information about certs, diff branches of cybersecurity, roles of cybersecurity and the very basic knowledge of cybersecurity and the mentor also provide you information about cybersecurity and in last i would say this course is best who just start career and do not have any basic knowledge about cybersecurity. :)
This was an overall great course. I like the addition of actual cybersecurity specialists giving thier viewpoints that's a great idea, and the course materials were not daunting. All tutors did great but j just wanted to single out Jim Crume who does an excellent job in breaking down concepts lie wise the others as well. Very much recommend this course.
The contents of the course were easily digestible and the spokesperson's were very clear about how and why you should pursue a career in cybersecurity. With the world becoming more digital everyday, it is a great industry to look into and start learning as the skill gap will need to be filled as the industry continues to face inevitable issues.
