Good information about social engineering. Some of it is a little dated but overall still relevant in today's cyber security environment.

The “Cyber Security: Common Attacks” course on Udemy is an excellent introduction for anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of today’s threat landscape. It provides clear, easy‑to‑follow explanations of how common cyberattacks work—at a high level—while focusing on awareness, prevention, and practical defense strategies. What makes this course stand out is its ability to break down complex security concepts into simple, engaging lessons.

The real‑world examples, visual breakdowns, and practical scenarios help reinforce why these threats matter and how organizations can better protect themselves.

By Ramona Adam on 12/23/2025

Loved this crash course, first of all because the teacher showed the practical side of the concepts all the time, which is one thing a lot of other Udemy teachers lack. The explanations were also very easy to comprehend and the structure of the course was just spot on.

By Joann Guerrero on 12/22/2025

His voice would cut out here and there and go silent alot. Like he was muting or a phone call was coming. It happen the whole time. Was hard to pay attention due to it.

By Andrea Cinelli Correa Netto on 12/11/2025

O curso traz dicas valiosas de como nos proteger contra possíveis ataques cibernéticos. É importante fazer o curso com atenção para tirar máximo de proveito e aplicar no nosso dia-a-dia.

Excellent introductory course with easy-to-follow explanations of the topics covered. The only minor issue I noticed – which doesn't affect comprehension at all – is that the instructor's voice cuts out abruptly at certain points, probably due to post-production audio editing. Recommend, anyway!

By Anonymized User on 1/2/2025

Indeed, it is really important in work related concerns.. You only need to make yourself familiar with the terms used related to Cybersecurity. Thank you.
