Data breaches occur nearly every day. From very large retailers, down to your fantasy football website, and anywhere in between, they have been compromised in some way. How did the attackers get in? What did they do with the data they compromised? What should I be concerned with in my own business or my systems? This course is the second course in the Practical Computer Security. It will discuss types of threats and attack vectors commonly seen in today’s environment. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but threats are all over the place! This course isn’t designed to insight fear that there is no hope for keeping systems and business secure, but rather educate you on how attacks are carried out so that you have a better sense of what to look out for in your business or with your systems.

Enjoyed the course. The more of these I take the better they seem to get. Could move a little faster. These are significantly better than the NYU offering.

I liked it, learned a lot however I do not like the grading by peers aspect and how it constitutes 40% of your grade, I should not have to wait on peers to grade my assignment.

The course is highly recommended for people who wants to have a career in Cyber Security. Greg is an encyclopedia and has wealth of knowledge on the subject matter.

Greg's explanation is lucid and he incorporates all his IT, CS experience in this course. Very well made and probably some of the best peer community I have ever come across. Cheers!

Decent content, but I don't like the peer review projects. It takes too much time to wait for someone else to review it. Give me an exam.

This course and all that comes with it has given me the knowledge and confident, at least to understand the good and the bad that lurks in the web.I haven't finished yet ….

It is very good course for the computer science people..One can get idea about Threat, vulnerability..I strongly recommend this course

unfrtunaly have to wait the peer's review and grading to pass the course and get the certificate otherwise its a good and easy to understand course the lecturer is very good

Excellent and informative. Lots of great information about data breaches, how they're discovered andwho was affected.

I learned alot from this course. but peers review is something should not be there. one of the peer gave me all 0 without any reason however other two gave me 100 and 80 with sensible reason.
Decent content, but I don't like the peer review projects. It takes too much time waiting for someone else to review it. Give me an exam.

Complete information. But the visuals (powerpoint, narration) could be of a lot higher quality.

I had learned very much good things about Cyber Threats and its attacks. I recommend to take this course. It is very much helpful.
Many thank for the Instructor and the Coursera. Without them, I couldn't achieve the place where I'm now.
a good for biggners to enhance their knowledge in cyber security
Great teacher, great resources, great course!!
Learned somuch.
style of delivery is very average and reading through the slides.I suggest seeing once New York University Tandon School's videos on cybersecurity delivered by Ed Amoroso.
To be honest, I enjoy learning, what is exciting is the manner in which the course is presented and broken down. The tutor is exceptional and does a wonderful job of explaining in good details the war on-going in the cyber world with real life examples. This course gives a great insight of the threat and attack vectors out there, vulnerabilities that we all should be concerned about and mitigations to help stay safe. My advice is don't hesitate to get it now.
Cyber threats and attack vectors are crucial in understanding the risks organizations face. Attack vectors refer to the paths or methods hackers use to access networks and systems, such as exploiting vulnerabilities in software, phishing, or weak encryption. Protecting against these threats requires strong security measures and constant vigilance. Organizations must stay updated on emerging risks to safeguard their data and assets.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The lectures were clear and just right for a beginner. The course was easy for me because I am not new to Cyber-security, having done courses from other vendors, however, I took the course seriously and was glad I did, because in the end, I earned more than a certificate, but some new interesting knowledge. I am even driven now to research more, influenced by final project.
This Course Gives Me a Aware in Cyber Threats And Also For Attacks Vector side.....FOR BEGINEER LEARNERS won't worry .......Coursera is a best ever online LEARNING SITE i have ever seen........CONCEPTS are clearly defined just Go through.............ALL THE BET :)
The information disseminated thorough out this course is unbelievably necessary. It covers a wide range of subject areas and scenarios creating an overall view of the course outline achieving each course objective.
I therefore, recommend these courses for everyone!!
I firstly give good thanks for Greg Williams to teach me about cyber threats and attack vectors . This course provide a deep knowledge about cyber security and attacks faced by the cyber field and how protected from those attacks and the solutions.
Great course, lots of different examples for cyber security threats, vulnerabilities, how they interact, operating systems and web based applications and what companies can do to close holes in their access. Looking forward to working on part 3.
I enjoy the lectures. The professor has a good speaking and teaching style which keeps me interested. Lots of concrete math examples which make it easier to understand. Very good slides which are well formulated and easy to understand
even when i am short on time.. i could roughly understand what Greg was talking about without even doing any extra revision! I would definitely have to go back to this section to do some revision when I can in future!
