A multi-course Coursera specialization from the University of Maryland covering core cybersecurity concepts, taught as a sequence of courses ending in a capstone project.

A commenter highly recommends it as a route into computer security, noting it was free if you did not need a certificate.

   I highly recommend the online Cybersecurity Specialization of the University of Maryland on Coursera.

   (disclaimer: I didn't pass the Capstone project, and never got around to trying it again)

   Back then it was free if you didn't need a certificate, may still be.
