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.

The course content and peer assessment was good but if I had submitted my assignment before time then also I have to wait for the date of grading my assignment and that's why course is incomplete until my submitted work didn't get grade. So, according to me, this kind of approach should be changed a little bit ,so that if a candidate submitted his/her assignment before time and candidate had made reviews of 2 assignments then candidates assignment should be graded by student who is available to do review that assessment and by this way the student can complete his/her course before time due to this student didn't have to wait for date of grading to complete the course.

The information in the courses (week 1-3) was very interesting and helpful. Unfortunately, this course requires essay answers to some of its questions and does not provide a ruburic for how things are graded until you are done answering.

In addition, the Capstone project does not give clear instructions and again, hides the grading scale until after the project is submitted.

I would not take this course again if needed.

The Capstone: Breach Response Case Studies course was excellent. I really loved researching and creating a case study. I gained so much from that including improving in researching skills, but also by reviewing peers as well learning so much more about cybersecurity.Definitely one of the best courses into the specialization. It made me realize how much I love to investigate, connect the dots and find answers.

I have a good ground and solid foundation to what we can refer to as cybersecurity incident response process by going through this course. This is a very rich content and very tasking. I learnt how to conduct Incident response during an attack, constituting a response team. I am very happy I participated in this course and cannot wait to have another opportunity for another course on cybersecurity on coursera

A well rounded course showing one the business side of IT security.

The focus is on company policies and not on specific Programming tasks.
