A note on the narration

The particular dictation of this narrator, or professor, makes it difficult to listen to this title at an accelerated speed. Plan on listening at 1X or 1.25 X. Overall, I enjoyed the lectures, though there isn't much new information for people already in the field or listeners of security podcasts such as Security Now...

a good series, but dated

I enjoyed it a great deal and it is very informative for beginners. but the lectures took place in 2012 which makes them dated. in fact, in the world of cybersecurity, it makes then near ancient

Outdated content

This was expert at the time it was recorded, but this content ages like fish, not like wine. Needs an update.

Well done overview of Cybersecurity

I think this lecture series, with its pdf file course guide was well written. The lecturer delivered interesting tid bits about what was just covered and what he planned to discuss in the next lecture.

A bit dated, but still relevant

Also it's not that technical. As a software developer, I wish there was more there, but he spends more on the legal and social tabulations of a cyber vulnerability.

Good IT Info for Beginners

This is a good series of lectures for the general state of internet security circa 2020. I was hoping for something a little more technical, but if you don't have a degree in a technology field you'll find it interesting and helpful.
