I find this course to be the most useful in terms of practical application. Some of the previous courses felt a bit bogged down by the technical aspects, but I guess this may be unavoidable.

Very useful to know case studies and how its structured.

Some lessons are very boring.

I hope that's an instructor mistake that just read fast and made slides with many many lists and graphics that two days after, you absolutely forget it what you learned.

Because if it was not an instructor mistake, I don't even know if I'd like to study more in the future to make a career in cybersecurity.

Enjoyed this courses, the case studies are very informative. Point to admin, look into the peer to peer case study reviews, students have to wait too long for their project to be reviewed and still not getting a fair and honest one.

It is the peer to peer assignments that takes away a star.. I review more that 10, sometimes even 20 other peoples assignments and I see they been waiting from a month to half a year there, that is unacceptable.

The course content and peer assessment was good but if I had submitted my assignment before time then also I have to wait for the date of grading my assignment and that's why course is incomplete until my submitted work didn't get grade. So, according to me, this kind of approach should be changed a little bit ,so that if a candidate submitted his/her assignment before time and candidate had made reviews of 2 assignments then candidates assignment should be graded by student who is available to do review that assessment and by this way the student can complete his/her course before time due to this student didn't have to wait for date of grading to complete the course.

This course was very good, however I cannot access the final assessment and I continue to get the message:

' You can only access this Capstone after completing the courses in the Specialization.

Bien le bonjour à mes pairs, Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement les professeurs DeeDee Colette, Jeff Crume, Manish Kumar, Rav Ahuja, ainsi que toute l'équipe pédagogique d'IBM, pour les cours de la spécialisation "IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Certificate". Cette formation a été extrêmement enrichissante et m'a permis d'acquérir des connaissances solides et précieuses en matière de sécurité des actifs numériques, qui constituent une base réelle pour une carrière lumineuse dans le domaine. Je souhaite souligner la qualité des différents quiz notés et non-notés, les laboratoires pratiques, qui se sont révélés très utiles pour appliquer concrètement les notions apprises. Toutefois, je me permets de proposer une amélioration : introduire une nouvelle variation des questions et des réponses à chaque tentative. Cela rendrait l'exercice encore plus engageant et favoriserait une meilleure maîtrise des concepts. Enfin, je suggère l'ajout d'un cours de synthèse, un "Put it all together", qui permettrait de relier les différents concepts et outils enseignés. Une telle initiative offrirait une vision globale unifiée de la cybersécurité (ce que vous avez fait étant déjà assez exceptionnel) et surtout du poste en lui-même, ce qui serait particulièrement bénéfique pour les apprenants. Merci encore pour cette excellente formation et pour votre dévouement à transmettre des connaissances de grande valeur ! Valère Firmin KAMBO TAMBA

The Capstone: Breach Response Case Studies course was excellent. I really loved researching and creating a case study. I gained so much from that including improving in researching skills, but also by reviewing peers as well learning so much more about cybersecurity.Definitely one of the best courses into the specialization. It made me realize how much I love to investigate, connect the dots and find answers.

I have a good ground and solid foundation to what we can refer to as cybersecurity incident response process by going through this course. This is a very rich content and very tasking. I learnt how to conduct Incident response during an attack, constituting a response team. I am very happy I participated in this course and cannot wait to have another opportunity for another course on cybersecurity on coursera

I have enjoyed every bit of this journey. I never thought I could pull this through, but the flexibility, the rich course content and numerous reference had helped me tremendously to get here. This course is quite an eye opener for me and I look forward to going to the next stage
