A wonderful and nicely structured course for a beginner. Audio quality isn't matching the standard of other courses offered in coursera which should be improved in near future.

The course is excellent for beginners, even though it does not go that deep into the topic. It definitely does a good job of spreading out the basics and establishing the fundamentals of Network security and Database vulnerabilities.

I hope the audio quality will be improved and better captions will be made available. Overall, a pretty decent job. Thank you!

Thank you so much, It was an overview for complete network in detail. There are many platforms which is new to me, but now it is familiar to me in order to scan your code whether it webapp or android app code.it scans vulnerabilities of the code. I hope i'll continue with this platform to learn and explore new topics.

Other than the database monitoring module, which was just a sales pitch for IBM Guardium, the course provided quite a nice level of detail. It is a shame some of the presentation styles were not more focused on presenting, rather than just reading their content, but overall the course was worthwhile.

These 4 courses gave a lot of information. Thank you to IBM and the team for providing us the wonderful opportunity to learn something. But I would recommend that it could have been more useful if instead of slides they were more interactive and live demos. Thank you!!

É um pouco complicado compreender a abstração principalmente nas aulas explicando sobre Ataques de Injeção, então as vezes temos que procurar aulas e vídeos externos, mas é bom para se ter uma base de como funcionam.

As aulas sobre Segurança das Redes são ótimas.

some audio is difficult to understand, and it appears that the content is taken from a larger course (as we often cut into Part 3, Part 2, etc) without seeing the preceeding parts. Overall however, a good overview.

Weeks 1 and 2 (Network part) are nice

Week 3 is (Databases) is bad: speaker didatic and audio quality are regrettable

Week 4 (Injection) is the best: speaker has a great oratory and goes straight to the point

Its a lot harder to understand when we are not from the tech field. Its good to have and overall idea of what is going on, but I would like something that I can have a hands on experience not only theory

Course overall was very good - but thought the Guardium section felt like one giant advertisement. Could have showed off multiple tools or talked in general through the concepts. Otherwise, good course.

The Course was very interesting and challenging. I've received a great deal of information that I'm sure I may need in the future. However, I sometimes have difficulty following some of the instructors.

I think it was missing some more practical examples, not only on the IBM software. Overall a good course, good explanations and gives the basics.

Also, I think the sound quality cold have been better

I enjoyed this course and also learn alot of things about cybersecurity and injection attacks.

many more are about the network and its security is to monitor and resolve by own.

I thought the course information was good. I do think the transcriptions need a little work to reflect what is actually being said by the instructors.

Good in theory, but Better hands-on and practical experience would have been appreciated.

Instructors were real-world practitioners, loved them!

There were some problems with audio quality in the last week, and sometimes the teachers would ramble rather than getting to the point.

En las practicas pueden colocar más preguntas para desarrollar más lo aprendido y poder tener más constancia al tomar el quiz final

Great course which significantly covered the topics. Short practical assignments at the end of each topic will tremendously help
