About the Course

This course introduces you to cybersecurity for the cloud. We'll learn and apply classic security techniques to today’s cloud security problems. We start with a deceptively simple and secure web service and address the problems arising as we improve it. We’ll analyze recent cloud security vulnerabilities using standard, systematic techniques. We’ll build our own web service case studies and construct security solutions for them. Our toolkit contains classic security concepts like Least Privilege and Separation of Duty, as well as more technical cryptographic and access control techniques....

I'm a bit torn - on one side the course does provide tangible examples about what security is about and quizzes / graded assignments are smart very often, yet I've mostly have not felt well prepared by the videos provided to pass them. Somehow I had the impression that it does require already own experience and knowledge/education and this is for the beginners... it was quite often to overwhelming to me as I am a non-tech person. Specially the last week 4 assignment - no clue how I was supposed to prepare, not to mention pass it :) based only on the course materials themselves. Pity.

Too much delay in assigning Peer Reviews. By the time it comes, you forget the content

The exam question have little or no coloration to the course work. They expect a specific answer based on a vague and often pointless question. They don't provide any feedback on what you got wrong.

The questions are basically "guess what is in my head"

Excellent Course for the beginner level. If you don't even have much knowledge this course will help you out for the same. With this basic knowledge you can definitely do the next level without having any problem. Amazingly explain by Mr. Smith. His contribution in this course is remarkable. Strongly recommend for those who are looking their journey in cloud security.

Despite of the poor visual, the course content is very relevant. I also appreciate the instructor fine sense of humor (the bug, the dog). He also clearly knows about the subject. Assessments are simple, however, questions are intelligent. I really appreciate this course and I've learned relevant information here. it worths the time spent.

Amazing course with the best instructor. The effort that Sir Rick Smith has given to make this course interesting is uncomparable. He has great teaching skills with perfect examples. Thanks a lot, Rick Smith and Coursera for this.

The course is good but too theoretical, practices are not so useful, I was expecting to lear more practical things to apply in industry. To show more technical/practical examples would be useful.

Terrible course. The material presented is outdated and all over the place. The quiz questions do not reflect the video topics in the slightest. Save yourself the time and do not enroll. I only did since I was interested in pursuing Twin Cities' Cybersecurity bootcamp, and if this is the level UMN operates at, I'm not interested. Take it from someone who's an MS Azure Admin Associate and is CompTIA Sec+ Certified, this course is garbage.
