As a millennial who grew up on the internet, this course was a good refresher on basic cyber security protocols, such as, but not limited to how to make and store passwords, when it is safe to give personal and financial information, and how to spot and avoid the typical threats you may come across while using the internet on various devices.

This is a great course to learn the basics of Cyber Security. Every lesson is clear, concise, and well laid out. The lessons aren't long but they are packed with information. Even so, I did the course over a week so as not to confuse myself with too much info and to apply certain aspects of the course to my pc and phone while it was still fresh. Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended!

In today's digital world, having a solid understanding of cybersecurity is no longer optional - it's absolutely essential. This course delivers a comprehensive and highly practical education that is relevant for both technical professionals (not me by the way) and anyone looking to safeguard their digital life.

Excellent introductory course. For me, someone who has experience in all these areas, this was very basic, not what I was expecting. I suppose that I was thinking of more technical details and more in-depth knowledge. But the course delivered exactly what it said, a basic course. For someone who is not as interested in technical details and does not expect an exam to test the knowledge gained, someone who wants the knowledge without the pressure of writing all notes down like he is back in school, this is a good course.

This was a good introduction to the basics of Security in the digital world. I enjoyed the foundation setup (including hardware) and the focus on multiple layers of security and not trusting in a blanket policy of habit. I even learned some techniques I was not familiar with!

I enjoyed learning about the possible digital threats, and how one can prevent them. Although seemingly simple the Anticipate-Mitigate method makes one's cyber space and footprint safe and secure, free from any cyber threats. Like he said, "prevention is better than consequence management."
