This course will lay your cyber security foundations and amake you aware of the things that happen in the cybersec domain. But before taking this course be sure that your fundamentals of a computer hardware, software, and networks are clear. And no, you don't need to know coding languages to understand the topics explained in this course.

This course was a great introduction for people completely unfamiliar with Cybersecurity, as well as helpful for those who have a foundational knowledge but aren't familiar with the actual field itself. It was all very intuitively laid out and clearly communicated. This was a great incentive to move forward with the rest of the courses.

El curso está muy bien estructurado y es accesible para principiantes, con explicaciones claras y ejemplos prácticos. Sin embargo, podría ser más interactivo en algunas secciones y profundizar un poco más en los casos prácticos para aplicar lo aprendido. He de decir que es una gran iniciativa para introducirse en ciberseguridad.
