Great introduction into the remaining courses. I love that there are different learning methods, ie, audio and reading and that there are quizzes at the end of each to help you digest the information.

"Foundations of Cybersecurity" provides a decent introduction to the basic concepts of cybersecurity, with an engaging instructor and a good learning pace. The material is presented clearly and covers important topics like threats, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures. However, the course suffers from an excessive focus on the US market, which limits its relevance to a global audience. The lack of discussion about frameworks and laws from other regions, makes the experience less comprehensive. Coursera, as a global platform, should offer a broader and more diverse perspective on the cybersecurity landscape, including different international regulations and practices. Despite the positives, the lack of an international perspective limits the value of the course for those seeking a complete understanding of cybersecurity. I recommend the platform include additional materials that explore the diversity of regulations and practices in different countries, making the learning experience richer and more relevant for a global audience.
