About the Course

This is the second 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 first Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. In this course, you will take a deeper dive into concepts introduced in the first course, with an emphasis on how cybersecurity professionals use frameworks and controls to protect business operations. In particular, you'll identify the steps of risk management and explore common threats, risks, and vulnerabilities. Additionally, you'll explore Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) data and use a playbook to respond to identified threats, risks, and vulnerabilities. Finally, you will take an important step towards becoming a cybersecurity professional and practice performing a security audit. 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: - Identify the common threats, risks, and vulnerabilities to business operations. - Understand the threats, risks, and vulnerabilities that entry-level cybersecurity analysts are most focused on. - Comprehend the purpose of security frameworks and controls. - Describe the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) triad. - Explain the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework. - Explore and practice conducting a security audit. - Use a playbook to respond to threats, risks, and vulnerabilities....

The course content is just the right pace. I feel the review questions could be harder but on the other hand it has given me a good boost of confidence being able to learn so quickly and accurately.

Cybersecurity is a thrilling field. This course was exciting. It was quite technical but the instructors managed to make it simple for easy understanding. I have learnt a lot and the comprehensive nature of the course gives me hope that I am on the right path to mastering Cybersecurity. I also had financial aid to study this course.

Course, is awesome clear precise easy to understand one topic builds upon another... I also, like how Google introduces staff members who share their stories, experiences and practically cheer you on with words of encouragement. I love that, because right now I only have myself and my bills to motivate me. I am excited to see where this new journey takes me....

This class is fun to learn but its also hard to get all the info and there's so many things to help you can always go back to what you've learned. For the test definitely don't panic like i have and just try your best. If you fail its ok dont worry about it you can go back on articles or videos on the questions you get wrong. but overall its been fun learning

In this course I learned several things that I will take into my daily life, besides being able to be reassured with several tips from those who already work in the area. It is interesting to see how Playbooks and the SIEM tool can greatly facilitate SOC operations.

I believe I will want to study more about SIEM and incident response after this course!!!

The "Use Playbooks to Respond to Incidents" course provided practical and actionable insights into incident response strategies. It equipped me with the necessary tools and frameworks to effectively manage and mitigate security incidents in real-world scenarios. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to enhance their incident response capabilities.

There was a lot of useful information that I believe will be needed as an entry cybersecurity analyst. The most difficult part of this course was conducting a security audit for the first time. After completing this tasks, I felt like I finally created physical evidence of my understandings and could contribute it to my portfolio in some way.

I loved this course. Slightly heavier than course 1. You need to pay more attention, you are getting extra doses of information here. But the knowledge you gain here is eye opening and could be a gamer changer. You will get a different understanding of what cybersecurity is about. The structure of the field. Overall it's fun

For me personally the course was quit informative, as the previous one. I liked the kind of simulation test (on control and compliance checklist) which I would love to see more of it because I think this is exactly what strengthens you, and gives you a little confidence that you understand everything correctly.

This course was helpful in bringing practicality to the theories and concepts discussed in the first course. I feel I have a greater understanding of what an analyst actually does, how exactly they do their job, and real examples of tools they use that I can further study and practice. Great stuff.

Breaking down Cybersecurity into different sub categories will pay dividends in the future. Also learning about playbooks and protocols are a huge plus. A systematic way to solve problems is always helpful. This course clearly outlines Cybersecurity and shows a clean flow.

The instructor was engaging and spoke well. I appreciated how the information was presented. I would have preferred in the later modules if there were more reading sections. I felt too much was explained in the lectures but not enough reference material was given.

This was very helpful, the combination of videos, reading and hands on activity was a great mix to help in the learning process. I particularly appreciated the hands on activities and exemplars that gave a glimpse into the day in the life of a security audit.

This course was far more easier to go through than the previous one. I likes the way the instructor explained the topics in detail and also we had an audit practice on it. Good for getting a deeper idea of the theory and concepts for the industry.

The security audit process was a little jarring and confusing. If it weren't for the exemplars at the end I would have been completely lost. The course presenter was fantastic and made understanding everything super easy. Thank you Google!
