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.

It was wonderful and worth it, I am new to information technology but the arrangement of the course and the course outlines made more interested and willing and determined to keep going. Thumbs up.

The only reason that i didn't give 5 stars is this was not a super engaging presentation of the material. I know know that everyone in the Cybersecurity Cert program is reading off of a teleprompter, this one in particular seemed extra dry. Good information, but it seem like there was very little attempt to make anything in the course compelling. How would a person make this material more enticing? I am not sure. It was necessary information given in a utilitarian way. I just always hope for an instructor that can turn what could be boring information into an engaging experience. I would not have done any better if I was in charge of this program. However, considering the resources of Google I feel like the dialog could have been illustrated with visuals, stories, and step by step projects. It is possible that I am being unrealistic. For its purpose, Play It Safe did what it was intended for.

It got the job done and truly described how to manage security risks, they definitely went into depth about how to employ frameworks and playbooks in an organization, and what doing so accomplishes which I enjoyed. I also thought the lab did an alright job at outlining what an audit may look like, although I wish it was more interactive. My only complaint is that there wasn't a lab where we used a SIEM, which seemed like it would have its own lab, as I really wanted to try out Splunk or even Google Chronicle in a VM setting.

This was an excellent course. The only oddity was the part about conducting a Security Audit. It just didn't fit into the rest of the course and we really weren't given enough information in the assignment itself to conduct. I would suggest rethinking how and where this is presented. After some research, I did discover that this probably wouldn't be portfolio material. Otherwise it was full of important and well paced and well presented topics.
