IBM: Database Basics and Security

This course pairs core database fundamentals (relational vs. non-relational databases, SQL basics: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) with the security side specifically: data classification, encryption/hashing/masking/tokenization, user profiles and password policies, database auditing models, and a dedicated module on injection vulnerabilities (OS command injection, SQL injection) — closing with hands-on labs in user management and access control.

The honest take: despite the 'introductory, no prior experience' badge at the top of the page, the course listing itself notes 'Intermediate — some related experience is required' and lists prerequisites (basic computer literacy, MS Office, Linux familiarity) — so go in expecting it to assume slightly more than IBM's other 'basics' courses, particularly around SQL syntax.
