I am excited for the opportunity to receive such knowledge, education, hands on training which has been building to the level this course is geared to. I realize the value of the learning at the level this course exposes students to. I sometimes feel overwhelmed but each week teaches such valuable knowledge that I realize more and more I am working toward the goals set at the beginning of each course. I can't wait to be able to prove and expand on my abilities, knowledge, and learning and to be able to experience what I have studied for so long now.

This course armed me with the tools to understand and implement new security practices in my workplace. It also introduced new ways to help me protect myself and my family from potential cyber threats. The only suggestion I would make for people who are interested in taking this course would be to make sure you have a general understanding of Cyber Security terms and a basic understaning of network knowledge. It can be a bit difficult to digest some of the material if you are brand new to Cyber Security.

This course was exceptional! Not only were the instructors more clear and visuals on point, but also the labs - hands-on experience was very valuable. Jude Lancaster insights based on his experience were great. IBM labs' notes were very informative (it is great to know why we doing what we doing or why not to do something e.g. learning that the ODA feature was out of scope or the UBA made sense on why not doing things another way.

Thank you IBM and the American Dream Academy. I also want to thank the team that was put together to transmit their very important knowledge on to us. I am so excited to be able to learn and continue learning.

This has been a challenge, but a wonderful one.

I love this very professional course and I will continue and strive to do the best I can to reach my goal.

Sincerely,

Consuelo Cabrera

This course was great. Came expecting alot form a provider like IBM and I wasn't disappointed at all. The virtual labs were great and well instructed by IBM and the course tutors were very detailed in explaining materials. Assignments and quizzes came on all principles taught in materials giving the student who reviewed the videos an advantage. Overall great course. Thank you IBM👍

The course was awesome, I had learned many items too importants to develpe skills in Cybersecurity, i didn't have aidea of what I needed to learn about this themes.

I think that I'm going to have an amazing new career.

It´s to important to know all of this because there are many things to do for keep secure services, networks and information, it's our information that is at risk.

Wow!! This course really gets to the nitty gritty skills needed in Cyber Security and it's just a baseline learning that I have been searching for. It's an in depth approach to being properly trained in the field. Thank You ALL... Coursera and IBM Security Learning Academy for passing down their extensive knowledge and devoting their precious time to teach us all.

I'm so glad I discovered this course! IBM has been a leader in cybersecurity for a long time, and I have been looking to break into this field for a while. This course was the perfect introduction to the subject and I feel confident that it's going to help me learn what I need in order to become job-ready for a cybersecurity analyst position.

Of all the certification courses, this is perhaps one of the most interesting for me. Data loss prevention, SIEM concepts, threat hunting and hierarchical correlation with SOCs, hands-on labs and tools for vulnerability analysis, tactical defense and data classification. Thank you to the instructors who helped prepare and teach the course!

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.

I am filled with much joy to be exposed to the importance of Cybersecurity and Cyber Threat Hunting, studying on the IBM Digital Platform - COURSERA.

The approach to learning is supervening. Having both theory and practicals inclusively executed during the course of this great career-uplifting experience.

What are you waiting for?

This is definitely 5 stars course, it brought new bird a entry level views which details of the knowledge of the variety kinds of the knowledge in Cyber Threat intelligence, it prepared a take away weapons for a System Security Professional.

Thanks so much IBM and Coursera to introduced the quality course content, thanks.

extremely informative. I would strongly recommend everyone to take courses offered by IBM. Everything is so detailed but the candidate must put in a lot of time and effort and should also consider taking notes for everything in order to pass the graded assessment tests. I would never regret doing this course.

Thanks so much for your very valuable training. I really enjoyed it, and appreciated that you made it fun! I feel much better prepared to deal with uncomfortable issues. Thank you for your wisdom, experience and personable presentation

Interesting, knowledge necessary to pursue a job in the cybersec field. I have a background with knowledge of penetration testing, so I can understand a lot of the purpose behind the topics and information being taught.

It was amazing to learn different tools and techniques about different skills such as cyber forensic investigation, cyber threats and many such skills which are required to become an IBM Cybersecurity Analyst position.

Great course, the labs were the best, it allowed you to get some valuable on hands experience and the various resources provided to help you learn more about Cyber Security were also very valuable. Great course.

This Course picks up the speed and describes support levels, intelligence systems, security architecture principles and concludes with a concise overview of where the cyber threat hunting industry is going.

The Course is great and the lecture videos were well organised. I also wish to thank IBM and Coursera for availing us of the links to labs for more detailed learning

Thank you for the opportunity to learn from highly experienced world class professionals. God bless you for such rich and great presentations.

It's a great training course! I recommend that everyone, who seeks to become a Cybersecurity specialist, take this training rain or shine.

Very nice and interesting course. Working in the IT it is a must have specialization.

For sure any kind of IT technicians should know.

Muy didactico tanto en la teoria como en la practica. Los laboratorios me gustaron mucho ya que muestran casos de la vida real....

A very interesting course, good presentation of the material and practical lessons. Gleaned a lot from the material covered.
