Excellent course for a beginner. Everything is explained concisely and in a simple way to help understanding and memorizing the important concepts about the network and network security. Moreover, the quizzes and small projects at the end of each module help me to summarize what I learned and apply the knowledge in a real situation. The course combines the understanding concepts and practicing through the assignments, and for me, this is the best way to learn cybersecurity.

This course really includes a lot of information and sometimes it is difficult to assimilate everything, but at the same time, although overwelming is fascinating and everything begins to make sense, what I would like would be more interaction with the tools and procedures in real life and practicing with day-to-day tools. ., however I believe and hope that this certificate is designed to progress step by step and I am very excited to continue moving forward and learning.

This course may seem easy on the surface, but upon closer examination, it is quite challenging. I have learned a great deal from this course. It introduced me to concepts and entities related to cybersecurity that were unfamiliar to me. In areas where there were difficulties, there was also diligence, but I ultimately passed successfully. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my instructors and mentors for their invaluable guidance and support.

An amazing course!! Since I really don’t have any IT experience, this course helped me a lot about network architecture, network security, network protocols, different kinds of network attacks and most especially on how to defend an organization’s networks. I had a fun and cool experience with the instructor and it was easy to understand. Definitely, I learned a lot on this course. 

Estoy muy satisfecho de lo aprendido. El conocimiento sobre las estructuras de una red, su funcionamiento, las vulnerabilidades a las que se está expuesto y las medidas que se pueden tomar para mitigarlas, son imprescindibles en el mundo de hoy. Prácticamento todo a lo que tenemos acceso forma parte de una red y cuanto mejor estemos preparados para mantener la seguridad, mejor.

The Networks and Network Security course immerses you in detailed and well presented, providing a wealth of valuable knowledge. I strongly endorse this course, especially if you have aspirations of building a career in cyber security or IT. The insights acquired prove incredibly advantageous for effectively navigating the detailed aspect of day-to-day online activities.

Connect and Protect: Networks and Network Security" provides a comprehensive guide on essential network security practices, including port filtering, network segmentation, and multi-factor authentication. It offers practical insights and real-world examples, making it a valuable resource for both newcomers and experienced professionals in enhancing network security.

It's impressive how the programme offers a variety of content that aids in the development of a cybersecurity analyst's attitude. You will have access to reading materials, practical laboratories, activities with example use cases, and course videos, which will prepare you to take on real-world problems and launch a rewarding career in this fascinating profession.

Connect and Protect: Networks and Network Security" effectively demystifies network security concepts and provides learners with a solid foundation to enhance the security of their networks. The course's approach to breaking down complex topics, combined with its practical applications, ensures that learners can confidently navigate the realm of network security.

This was an amazing course. In my opinion this was the best class in this 8 course program. A great part of that is the instructor. She was fabulous. You can tell she has a passion for teaching. She was very engaging. The concept covered are imperative to an entry level analyst. This course I can't say enough good things about, so I will leave it there.

It was such an awesome course. I got to know more about how network work and how to protect some networks from getting attacked. Along the line i found it difficult to understand some things but i took my time to go over them again and again to get a better understanding. I want to say a very big Thank You for taking me through such a beautiful course.

I enjoyed this course! My favorite parts were all the activities where we got to see examples of logs and reports we would see in the field. It feels like what I've been learning is starting to click into place. Before I started the course, I wasn't sure if cybersecurity was for me but I now feel confident that I can find my place in the industry.

The course cover an essential knowledge related to networking. This is not only good for cybersecurity, but also IT in general. understanding the OSI layer and TCP/IP layer model.

I like the Incident Response reporting exercise that is covered in this course. It gives a real world experience on how to write report about an incident.

It clearly explains about the network architecture, network security hardening by OS hardening, Cloud Security hardening, and using SIEM Tools such as packet sniffing, pen testing, and countering IP Spoofing. This course has taught me one thing to never give up and keeping persistent small step progress towards one's goals.

It was really great course it covers basic networking like what is router switch hub network security basic threads tcp udp tcp ip protocol osi model etc etc and also some practical assignment we also saw how tcpdump tool work how to analyze threads using it thankyou google and coursera for this valuable course

As a student without prior knowledge in Cybersecurity or Computer Science, I've greatly been challenged and encouraged by the sound and professional delivery of the Instructors. I believe that all the materials for this course (courses 1-8 and their modules) will remain accessible to us even after the course?

This course has taught me a lot, especially about security hardening, which is centered around people and processes as well as technology. An organization will be shielded against vulnerabilities when security knowledge is implemented, such as through the implementation of security rules and use guidelines.

The course is intense for beginners without any IT background, and since the tutor explains it in a clear and simple way with some interviews from professionals who have already worked in the cybersecurity field, it's really fun and gives more insight and understanding about networks and network security.

The subject has a great deal of breadth and depth and is foundational to the operation of almost every entity in the world. This course, while introductory, secured my great interest by combining technical subjects with real-world, human experiences (Google cyber security team members). Good stuff!

5 stars for a concise layout and instruction to a course I had no initial understanding of. I am now beginning to comprehend just what cyber security is. Very clear instructions all the way through and the size of the stages are apt in helping you come to grips with a very complicated subject.

The professor in this course was fantastic! I have taken other cybersecurity courses on Networks and Network Security and they were not nearly as good as this. The instructor was enthusiastic and engaging. The material, was also great. Everything was well explained and well understood.

This was a great lecture I really loved the way the Instructor took his time to explain basic concepts and how computers interact with each other. I am done with the course but I am back reviewing the course again. Thanks to everyone who made this a success. Much love and respect.
