In an increasingly digital world, the imperative for robust cybersecurity practices has never been more evident. "Comprehensive Insights into Cybersecurity Roles, Processes, and Operating System Security" presents a meticulous exploration of the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, shedding light on essential roles, intricate processes, and the critical realm of operating system security.

The authors' deep understanding of the subject matter is palpable throughout the text. Their systematic approach to delineating various cybersecurity roles provides an invaluable resource for individuals and organizations striving to comprehend the multifaceted responsibilities that safeguard our digital realm. From the proactive vigilance of penetration testers to the strategic oversight of security architects, each role is dissected with clarity and precision.

The book's real strength, however, lies in its elucidation of cybersecurity processes. In a field where methodologies can make or break an organization's defense mechanisms, the authors offer a comprehensive overview of the processes that underpin a resilient cybersecurity infrastructure. Whether it's the intricacies of threat hunting, incident response, or vulnerability management, the text navigates these processes deftly, making it an indispensable guide for practitioners and students alike.

A significant portion of the book is dedicated to operating system security, and rightly so. Operating systems serve as the bedrock of digital operations, and their protection is paramount. The authors delve deep into the core principles of OS security, from access controls and authentication mechanisms to secure boot processes. In an era marked by rampant cyber threats, this section equips readers with the knowledge needed to fortify their systems against an array of potential vulnerabilities.

While the book excels in many aspects, there are a few areas where it could be further enhanced. The rapidly evolving nature of cybersecurity necessitates a continuous update cycle, and a companion website or online resources could provide readers with the latest insights and emerging trends. Additionally, more practical examples, case studies, and hands-on exercises would empower readers to apply the theoretical knowledge gained from the text.

In conclusion, "Comprehensive Insights into Cybersecurity Roles, Processes, and Operating System Security" stands as a commendable contribution to the cybersecurity literature. Its meticulous exploration of roles, processes, and operating system security, combined with the authors' evident expertise, makes it an essential read for both novices seeking to enter the field and seasoned professionals aiming to bolster their knowledge. With a few enhancements, this book could become an unrivaled companion in the journey toward a more secure digital landscape.

A great experience with Coursera once again as I have access to the learning resources at anytime and I can learn at my own pace; the concepts are explained with so much clarity and examples which makes it easy to understand. I am taking a break for a week to review the first two courses for a better understanding but also to rest my brain and then I will take the third one.

The way the courses are presented almost made me addicted in a way that I just wanted to go the hear what next, what next and what next until I finished in 2 courses in 4 days each while they are designed to complete in 4 weeks, I could study for 16 hours in a row, wow.

Thanks

I learned a lot in this course, the professors know a lot about the topics, give some interesting examples, and explain as clearly as possible. About the quizzes, some questions were quite easy but the main one, which evaluates the knowledge learned throughout a full module, summarizes very well the key ideas. The only issue I found is the class material, the quality of the slides is not good and we don't access to those, also the quality of the audio sometimes was not the best which interrupts the understanding of some key ideas. In general, is a good course.

Definitely better than the first IBM course "Introduction to cyber security" , more focused on points . better instructors , better audio and overall quality , but still needs some improvement in the quality

the course is actually pretty easy (even if u don't have a background in cyber security) i don't recommend u taking it unless your gonna finish the whole 8 courses of IBM and take the professional certificate at the end , the knowledge given by this course is basic and u cant find it anywhere else with even a better Presentation and for free

"Cybersecurity Roles, Processes, and OS Security" contained some redundant material (in week 1 and 2) from the previous course, "Introduction to Cybersecurity Tools and Cyber Attacks", regarding access management and CIA triade. However, weeks 3 and 4 on OS and virtualization were good introductions. I would suggest to add more security material regarding Windows and Linux however, because there is barely anything about it. The title of the course is thus slightly misleading.

A good amount of the videos are not clear audio-wise and visually, some of the things are INAUDIBLE and the transcripts in those cases do not help at all. I think it would be better off for you guys and for us to update the videos with a higher resolution and a better speaker or at least for that speaker to speak through a more CLEAR microphone and take their time when saying the terms.

I could find out knowledges about process, service operation, security strategy, etc. It helps definitely.

However, the test of the first week looks like unnecessarily difficult. I took it more than five times to pass. The lectures in the first week were not that clear to take the test with them.

I think the test of the first week needs the adjustment.

In the Google IT Support Professional Course I was exposed to most of the concepts in the Operating Systems. It was refreshing and also befitting to get a timely reminder of the everyday processes that we do without knowing the technological terms of what is transpiring and it has made my awareness greater.

This course is a good choice to get yourself through some of the basic concepts and knowledge about Cybersecurity Roles, Processes & Operating System Security. I would suggest to explore each topic more on google since the topics are discussed in brief and there is lot of things you can get to know

I think it is really a 4.5 stars out of 5. The pictures and images were difficult to see during the lectures. They were blurry at times. And I think there might have been more than one correct answer on questions 5 and 9 of the Windows Security Operation Security Basics. Quiz.

A lot of the slides are very blurry and most of the videos have a very low volume.

It makes it very hard to study and very hard to concentrate.

Overall the subject matter experts are very good and very informative this was the main reason i rated this course with 4 stars and not 3.

I would give 5 stars to the course contents. Two things did upset me, the first is pace of one of the instructors, which was not very much easy to be with and the second one is the transcript, which sometimes was very much wrong. Anyhow, it was amusing to join this course.

It was an amazing course. Video explanation are very clear. It makes it easy to understand the course. I didn't know what I was jumping into but with this course it helps you to understand the base of cyber security and provide a general knowledge of computer science.

The Content Was Nicely Explained, It just made me easy to understand the concept of cloud security, Governance, Types Of controls, File Systems in Different Operating System. It is good course to learns Security Basics and Upskill your Knowledge. Thank You!

This course covered the CIA triad a bit deeper and also gave a good overview of security for Windows, Linux, and Virtualization. I learned something new even though I already had a good grasp on these topics. Thank you for the course. Best regards, Jeff

Great information but very highly packed and seemingly NO human touches such as humor or real world examples. I DO think the Coursera method of paying monthly to access certificated courses is Excellent! (Versus the bloated university/semester method)

This one was easier than I expected. Still, only general structural information provided with a number of very good resources for the future. Mainly very poor pictures quality but the overall information is well structured and well presented.

Wonderful compilation of resources. I really enjoyed, since it is designed as very light weight specially for those professional who would like to pursue as continuing education and enhancing skills while also doing their job. Thank you.

An overall better course than the first one, but many of the videos are still lacking in quality. Also, I really still do not see any thing that justifies the price tag. Except for the certificate itself, if that is all what you are after.

In general the course was informative and interesting, however sometimes the quality of recording wasn not so good , so it was difficult to understand the concept from the first time.Thank you for the course, it was very useful for me!

Course was really good but again the material is not the best, some videos and slides are just unreadable. We are paying for a course and its very annoying to see that they have put no effort in making the videos and slides look good.

I learned a tremendous amount of information. I am also extremely proud of accomplishing this goal. My biggest complaint is that some of the quizzes were so difficult that unless you are persistent you will not complete the class.

Topics are interesting even if at a basic level. Unfortunatley, there are some cases where the slides are difficult to read, due to the poor quality of graphichs. Sometimes there are errors in the transcription of the dialogues.
