Applied Learning Project
Quizzes and projects for Introduction to Cyber Security were designed to exercise the learner’s understanding and retention of the covered topics. Emphasis is on foundational issues, rather than just memorizing facts.
The goal of the Introduction to Cyber Security Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with New York University is to help learners develop the habit of properly assessing and improving cyber risk posture in real computing, networking, and software systems.
