About the Course

This course introduces real-time cyber security techniques and methods in the context of the TCP/IP protocol suites. Explanation of some basic TCP/IP security hacks is used to introduce the need for network security solutions such as stateless and stateful firewalls. Learners will be introduced to the techniques used to design and configure firewall solutions such as packet filters and proxies to protect enterprise assets. Perimeter solutions such as firewalls and intrusion prevention systems are shown to have significant drawbacks in common enterprise environments. The result of such weakness is shown to often exist as advanced persistent threats (APTs) from nation-state actors. Such attacks, as well as DDOS and third-party attacks, are shown to have potential solutions for modern enterprise....

Solid introductory course. Prof teaches basic concepts in an engaging manner without requiring much technical background. As with the other courses in the program, the quiz wording is a bit odd.

An excellent course for its content and for those didactic examples that Dr.Amoroso uses to make us understand highly complex contexts, in an absolutely masterful way.

But I see some neglect on the part of those who are responsible (Coursera? NYU?) for keeping this course up to date. Many users have reported that certain links that are very necessary to understand the entire course have not worked for months.

Good course, very solid foundation of basics in the topic. Having said that, even discussion forums are pretty much abandoned, with a few lonely posters and almost no activity there.

This course, like the prior ones in this series, are a nice high-level introduction to this topic. I do wish it were a little more technically demanding. My principle complaint is the number of assigned reading/video links that are outdated. In reviewing the forum, you can see that some of them have been outdated for two years.

Some of the quiz answers could be rather subjective, and the removal of the feedback system made it difficult to figure out why the selected answer was wrong and why the correct answer was right.

This is a good course to get an introduction on different types of cybersecurity attacks, with some emphasis on the network part of it.

Dr. Amoroso does a great job explaining the attacks. However, please note that this is a general overview of all possible security threats. It does not explain the details of each of them. It is an overview for beginners on the topic.

This course has made me curious and eagered to learn more on a few topics.

Note: discussions forums seem abandoned, and the tests are sometimes a bit sloppy. Content is really good.

It is a great overall course and start to getting into information regarding the field of Cyber Security. Where I would recommend improvements are to the quiz sections. Knowing why you got something wrong can be just as helpful as why you got something right. Just having an incorrect mark on a choice made it harder to learn why that answer was wrong, or for some of the questions why it was the least correct.

I really enjoyed it! The majority of the material I was somewhat familiar with, but this certification course viewed it from a different angle and perspective. It was a little challenging but not too bad. Very informative.

Professor Amoroso presented the material in a very lively and interesting manner. Even though many topics were familiar to me I learned a lot because the topics were brought from a different and original perspective.

I had so much fun with Professor Amoroso and learned a lot of interesting things! He's a great teacher (and a great writer too). I wish I could take a whole university course with him as a teacher.
