About the Course

This is the fifth 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 fourth Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. In this course, you will explore the concepts of assets, threats, and vulnerabilities. First, you'll build an understanding of how assets are classified. Next, you will become familiar with common threats and vulnerabilities, and the security controls used by organizations to protect valuable information and mitigate risk. You will develop an attacker mindset by practicing the threat modeling process, and you'll learn tactics for staying ahead of security breaches. 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: - Learn effective data handling processes. - Discuss the role of encryption and hashing in securing assets. - Describe how to effectively use authentication and authorization. - Explain how common vulnerability exposures are identified by MITRE. - Analyze an attack surface to find risks and vulnerabilities. - Identify threats, such as social engineering, malware, and web-based exploits. - Summarize the threat modeling process....

This course is awesome! The instructor was very clear in her explanations. The threats, vulnerabilities are real and the modeling exercise in anticipation of threat is a brilliant idea!

The instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly. For someone like me who is new to the tech field. this is a welcomed approached. Making it less intimidating and nerve wracking. I'm looking forward to getting in the tech field and using what I've learn so far and expanding on that knowledge. On a side note. I wish I knew more about the tech industry sooner.

Very good course, the instructor was positive and the pace of the learning was good - the material was complex, and the instructor communicated clearly and was able to break down complex topics in a manner that can be easily understood. The Threat modelling exercise was also a very practical way to reinforce the concepts taught in this course.

Da'Queshia is a wonderful instructor, so thorough, animated, and encouraging. Lot of content about asset classification, ways to protect data, vulnerability assessments, malware, and thinking outside of the box about how systems, networks, people are may be attacked, and the variety of resources and methods to defend in depth.

It was a good introductory course into the type of danger general computer operators/ network users are at risk everyday while at work, play or running own's lifestyle. The next step will be self-immersion into further appreciation of the threats and vulnerabilities that keep changing across our assets landscape.

Very inspirational. This part of the course is a bit denser than the previous ones, exploring some of the most complex concepts of the Cybersecurity industry. Also indicates a lot of extra lectures to dive deeper and deeper on it. Definitively recommended. Definitively great.

Overall, this was an excellent course. My only recommendation - this course needs to incorporate more specific instructions into the lectures that cover the activities so that the objectives and outcomes are more clear.

A great course with fun explanation and quizes.

For the Threat Modeling activity, perhaps it is better to limit the number of items mentioned there and just go specific with the area that needs to be Threat Modelled.
