About the Course

This is the fourth course in the Google Cybersecurity Certificate. These courses will equip you with the skills you need to apply for an entry-level cybersecurity job. You’ll build on your understanding of the topics that were introduced in the third Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. In this course, you will explore computing skills that you’ll use on-the-job as a cybersecurity analyst. First, you'll practice using Linux, an operating system commonly used by cybersecurity professionals. For example, you'll use the Linux command line through the Bash shell to navigate and manage the file system and authenticate users. Then, you'll use SQL to communicate with a database. Google employees who currently work in cybersecurity will guide you through videos, provide hands-on activities and examples that simulate common cybersecurity tasks, and help you build your skills to prepare for jobs. Learners who complete this certificate will be equipped to apply for entry-level cybersecurity roles. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will: - Explain the relationship between operating systems, applications, and hardware. - Compare a graphical user interface to a command line interface. - Identify the unique features of common Linux distributions. - Navigate and manage the file system using Linux commands via the Bash shell. - Use Linux commands via the Bash shell to authenticate and authorize users. - Describe how a relational database is organized. - Use SQL to retrieve information from a database. - Apply filters to SQL queries and use joins to combine multiple tables....

There was a lot of great content in this course. It seemed like twice as much info in this course than in the other courses in this program. I like the technical aspects of this course and it had great analogies.

Insightful and a must to learn for gaining a career in cyber security. The Google course tutor videos were also helpful in explaining complex learning & terms and really made a difference in aiding my learning

I think a more guided approach to learning SQL is necessary. Some concepts are much trickier to understand, and more examples where we get time to practice rather than just labs would be a valuable resource.

it can be a whole lot better. Kali linux needs more emphasis. SQL needs more attention, maybe introduce a module 5 for SQL, that way it gets more flexible and both linux and SQL have equal representation.

It was harder than I thought it would be. I did enjoy the challenge. I would have liked more indepth study on the SQL chapter as was given to the Linux module, especially the section on SQL Joins.

for most part it was kinda easy because am useing linux mint 20.1, now the SQL got little difficult at times, scenes it a virtual machine or box. There was not a a lot Respiratory to choose from.

When you're dedicated to knowing more and better, there's no way that you won't comprehend this, it is easy to learn and easy to follow along. To the instructors of Cousera, WELL DONE!!!

I liked the labs. Did not like the optional project assignments. Would have like to seen a Linux and SQL 'cheat sheet' of commands and syntax for download instead of a glossary.

It was helpful and interesting. There was one section that was tough which was the different JOINS that you can do, but otherwise very helpful and easy to understand.

It was okay, could have used more hands on practice with both Linux and SQL. Also SQL was little hard to understand and concepts could have been better explained.

Ojalá estuviera subtitulado en castellano y pudiera descargar el temario que me han explicado en los videos en un PDF. También el temario es muy básico

This one took more time, mostly due to not having explicit details to answer every question with. A lot had to be explored and figured out for myself.

It was a great course but it took me a long time to be finished. It could be shorter in time with learning the same materials and concept
