The need for online learning is greater than ever due to the "new normal". Basic knowledge and skills are needed to understand cybersecurity not only to help close the worldwide skills gap but also to understand threats that are continuously reported in the news or on social media. I have had the opportunity to work on a project that delivers both.
With the help of IBM SMEs (Subject Matter Experts), IBM has provided the learner with videos, reading exercises and research sites to gain or expand your knowledge of cybersecurity fundamentals.
Four courses and one specialization exist today on Coursera:
IT Fundamentals for Cybersecurity Specialization (Specialization)
Cybersecurity Roles, Processes & Operating System Security
Cybersecurity Compliance Framework & System Administration
Network Security & Database Vulnerabilities
In June, a new set of courses will be released to continue building upon the foundational skills you will learn in the first specialization. Take a look and see how you, a coworker or a friend might benefit from expanding your knowledge today.
