List of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on cyber security related topics.
Although cyber security is becoming more and more important, it is unfortunately the case that many traditional educational institutions fail to provide a reasonable offer in their portfolio. Unfortunately, many of the few offered study programs are often very theory-loaded and deficient in their quality. Current cyber security related topics are not even covered in the curriculum.
One solution to the aforementioned problem are massive open online courses (MOOCs) that often provide high quality educational courses to everyone with an internet connection.
Below you'll find a list of cyber security related courses on the largest MOOC platforms (Coursera, edX, Udacity). Most of them are timeless, which means you can access the course material anytime regardless of the course start or end date.
I'm trying to keep this list up to date.
