            I have recently ( 15th Oct 2015 ) enrolled in two courses on Cyber Security on Coursera in order to prepare for a career in Information Security. I have  a basic experience and knowledge in Information Security having studied it as a topic in my BTech and MTech degree programs. However I need to get up speed with the latest developments as well as have an industry perspective in this field. Also due to my inherent dislike  for coding I believe I do not understand fundamentals of software security including how it is applied to development of new software both for the web as well as in product software. The two course I have enrolled for are Software Security and Hardware Security by University of Maryland Park.          Along with this I intend to revise and update my knowledge of Info Sec Management through revision of  the content of CISM exam which I cleared in 2013.
