learnt more about cyber threats and soc intelligence. application lecturer sound like she is drunk there is no enthusiasm reading like a robot.

This course ought to have come first to provide a context for each concepts presented in previous courses. It really provided more clarity on the whole field of Cyber Security.

SIEM Concepts and Benefits - First video is missing, i can hear only the audio in most part of the video.Kindly, check at your end to avoid problem to the other viewers.Thank you

I have completed the course contents and tests but I have not received my certificate. Is there a solution to my problem?

I learn too many techniques in this course & it's too helpful for me in my cyber security career. Thanks A Lot IBM
