For a foundation course, this one was easy to understand, it explained all basic concepts in a fluid way and built up the base for the upcoming courses. I'm eager to move on to the other courses now.

The course is well paced and they get you comfortable with the topics even though we do not have any sort of prior exposure in this field. It is very good for the beginners who are new to this field

"Foundations of Cybersecurity" provides a decent introduction to the basic concepts of cybersecurity, with an engaging instructor and a good learning pace. The material is presented clearly and covers important topics like threats, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures. However, the course suffers from an excessive focus on the US market, which limits its relevance to a global audience. The lack of discussion about frameworks and laws from other regions, makes the experience less comprehensive. Coursera, as a global platform, should offer a broader and more diverse perspective on the cybersecurity landscape, including different international regulations and practices. Despite the positives, the lack of an international perspective limits the value of the course for those seeking a complete understanding of cybersecurity. I recommend the platform include additional materials that explore the diversity of regulations and practices in different countries, making the learning experience richer and more relevant for a global audience.
