I find this course to be the most useful in terms of practical application. Some of the previous courses felt a bit bogged down by the technical aspects, but I guess this may be unavoidable.

Content is Very good. Although the Admins could look in to the peer-review process, its very slow and people have to wait days. Of about 100 posts in the discussion forum, more than 95 are people asking why their assignments are not getting reviewed.

Very good material. It is interesting to create a case study.

It was challenging to find enough material from open sources which can help you built up the scenario.

Clever assignment. But, the instructions for grading fall short. I have a feeling my comments were not committed when I submitted when I should have clicked to add a comment. I also have a feeling the assignments are not really someone else's actual work. One submission was extremely bad - so bad as to suggest that it was a plant. But, whatever, I did my own work with diligence and that's what matters.

This could be a part of another course, is like they run out of material and create a 4 week course justo to charge you more. 5 to 10 obvious questions for each 5 case studies, then the peer graded assignment that is just filling a powerpoint template, I work hard on that template, and people just upload random PDF's and two times they upload my own assignment, I report them but I think most of the people pass with just random content or plagiarizing. Peer graded assignments doesn't work anymore.

As an Engineering student with a keen interest in cybersecurity, taking the "Cybersecurity Capstone: Breach Response Case Studies" course has been an invaluable experience. This course dives deep into real-world scenarios of cybersecurity breaches and the critical strategies employed to respond effectively. One of the most compelling aspects of the course is its practical approach. Instead of theoretical concepts alone, the course focuses on case studies that bring to light the complexities and challenges faced by cybersecurity professionals during breach incidents. These case studies cover a range of scenarios, from data breaches in large corporations to targeted attacks on government institutions, providing a comprehensive view of the cybersecurity landscape. The course structure is well-organized, starting with foundational knowledge on incident response frameworks and methodologies. It then progresses to detailed analyses of specific breach incidents, dissecting the timeline, root causes, impact assessment, and most importantly, the response strategies deployed. Each case study is presented with meticulous detail, allowing students to understand not only what went wrong but also how effective responses were formulated and executed. The learning materials are enriched with practical resources such as simulated incident response exercises, which simulate real-time scenarios and challenge students to apply their knowledge in a controlled environment. This hands-on approach is crucial for reinforcing theoretical concepts and preparing students for the dynamic and fast-paced nature of cybersecurity incidents in the real world. Furthermore, the course benefits greatly from the expertise of instructors who are seasoned professionals in the field of cybersecurity. Their insights and firsthand experiences enhance the learning experience, providing valuable industry perspectives that go beyond textbook knowledge. In conclusion, "Cybersecurity Capstone: Breach Response Case Studies" is an exceptional course for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of cybersecurity incident response. It not only equips students with practical skills and knowledge but also prepares them to tackle the complexities of cybersecurity breaches with confidence. I highly recommend this course to Engineering students and cybersecurity enthusiasts alike who are eager to explore the fascinating and critical field of breach response.

I am in school for my BS in CyberSecurity with a focus on Intelligence and Forensic Studies. This course pushed me, and will make me better at my job. This course will ultimately help me to better analyze and detect problems faster, and by doing that I will be able to save companies, or my government millions of dollars in the long run.

Lots of useful information. Well presented and explained, although I must say all video courses read by some lady are difficult to follow, because she just reads the transcript with no intonation at all. Apart from that, only good stuff.

This course was very interesting form other point of view, the way that we do an analysis of the breaches changes the perspective of our own criteria.

I enjoyed this but in some way it was a little difficult resolve some assessments.
