O curso é extremamente rico em informações, o que não é surpresa, considerando que os instrutores são funcionários do Google. No início, eu duvidei que seria tão informativo devido aos vídeos curtos e algumas leituras. No entanto, o conteúdo é tão direto ao ponto e, ao mesmo tempo, detalhado, que eu passava horas em um único tópico, parando para ler, anotar e pesquisar partes que achava interessantes. A inteligência artificial também ajuda muito! Recomendo fortemente!

This was a very good introductory course into the field of Cybersecurity. A great thing I noticed is that while there is a lot of information to take in, Google does a really good job of giving you practical examples to help you understand how the terms are used in real life, in addition to just definitions. (Meaning, knowing key-terms is great, but the key to learning is being able to understand how these key-terms are translated in a real-life working scenario)

I knew absolutely nothing about cybersecurity, and although the description stated you didn't have to know anything, I didn't believe that it would be good for someone like me. However, after starting the course and now completing it, it is truly for beginners. It is a plethora of information to process, but it was broken down pretty simple and with all of my notes and being able to go back through the course at any time, it's definitely a setup for success!

I loved the experience of effectively learning more about a topic that is completely new and different to my background and line of work. Coursera's method of teaching using videos and reading materials were well organized and helpful in my learning. I also appreciated the asynchronous approach to learning where the experience was based on when I could break away/my own schedule. I am happy with what I learned so far.

It was daunting at first! But only gets better by each element of study in each topic as you progress.

I found that it kept me craving for more as realized how interesting the course was made and it opens up possibilities and courage in oneself. It removes the misconception many of us have that, you need to be an advance programmer or computer whiz to become a Cyber Sec Professional. That is not i feel anymore!

Este curso me permitió tomar conciencia sobre lo importante que es la seguridad de los datos y los sistemas de información. Ahora que estamos en un mundo más digital, la cantidad de información o datos que se genera es cada vez mayor, esto hace más complejo su protección. Por ello, tomo relevancia la seguridad de la información para prevenir qu ésta se filtrada a personas no autorizadas o maliciosas.

I thought it would be difficult but the course layout made it easy for me to understand everything, I usually take lots of notes so I sometimes ramble around but in this course is just a matter of paying attention to the videos, in the next module you´ll be given the meat and potatoes of the subject in a written doc which makes everything easier for me. Highly recommended course, well done Google.
