This course provides a solid and well-organized introduction to security risk management for beginners in cybersecurity. It helped me understand how organizations think about risk, impact, and decision-making from a security and business perspective, rather than focusing only on technical details. What I appreciated most was the clear structure and the use of real-world examples to explain key concepts like Frameworks, Risk Assessment, Security Audit, OWASP, and Controls. The course helped me start thinking like a security professional, which is very valuable early in a cybersecurity journey. At times, however, the course felt heavily theory-focused, and some sections became a bit information-dense. While the content itself is important, the volume of theory in certain lessons made it harder to stay fully engaged. Adding more interactive elements, hands-on exercises, or short practical scenarios would help balance the theory and reinforce learning. Overall, this is a strong foundational course that builds the right mindset for managing security risks. With a bit more practical application, it would be even more effective and engaging for learners.

The only reason that i didn't give 5 stars is this was not a super engaging presentation of the material. I know know that everyone in the Cybersecurity Cert program is reading off of a teleprompter, this one in particular seemed extra dry. Good information, but it seem like there was very little attempt to make anything in the course compelling. How would a person make this material more enticing? I am not sure. It was necessary information given in a utilitarian way. I just always hope for an instructor that can turn what could be boring information into an engaging experience. I would not have done any better if I was in charge of this program. However, considering the resources of Google I feel like the dialog could have been illustrated with visuals, stories, and step by step projects. It is possible that I am being unrealistic. For its purpose, Play It Safe did what it was intended for.

It got the job done and truly described how to manage security risks, they definitely went into depth about how to employ frameworks and playbooks in an organization, and what doing so accomplishes which I enjoyed. I also thought the lab did an alright job at outlining what an audit may look like, although I wish it was more interactive. My only complaint is that there wasn't a lab where we used a SIEM, which seemed like it would have its own lab, as I really wanted to try out Splunk or even Google Chronicle in a VM setting.

I genuinely loved the amount of motivation I received throughout this course, and I really felt empowered to complete it swiftly and successfully. In retrospection though, if I had to pick a place for improvement, it would be that the course could have included a little more technical detail of all the topics covered, as what was presented seemed quite easy and short. That aside, the tests, integration of Coach, and all the materials were super helpful!

This was an excellent course. The only oddity was the part about conducting a Security Audit. It just didn't fit into the rest of the course and we really weren't given enough information in the assignment itself to conduct. I would suggest rethinking how and where this is presented. After some research, I did discover that this probably wouldn't be portfolio material. Otherwise it was full of important and well paced and well presented topics.
