I took the Financial Institutions Cybersecurity course to improve my knowledge of cybersecurity threats and mitigation strategies. The course was really helpful in achieving my learning goals, and I appreciated the focus on practical skills. For example, I learned how to conduct a risk assessment and implement a vulnerability management program. The course materials were relevant and up-to-date, and the instructors provided valuable feedback on our assignments. One thing that could be improved is the discussion forum, which was a bit slow to respond at times. Overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others in the field.
