this course covers the foundations of cybersecurity, including threats and vulnerabilities as well as the tools, technologies, and strategies used to manage it.

This is a great basic course for those without a lot of technical knowledge. It gives a good overview of cybersecurity practices in a large or medium-size organization.

Thanks for this great program and the good opportunity being given to me I appreciate and tell me Federal government for this kind gesture

Good foundational course at the right pace. Noticed several mistakes (incorrect choices marked correct) in the final quiz! I hope the instructors are able to correct these small errors.

Learning about this as a newbie, this course really gave me the basics of cyber security and now I feel like I have the basic knowledge to dive further into the other courses. Great Job :)
