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....

The study material and videos are very useful to understand the subject. Overall the manner in which this course was planned that can be understood easily with little attention. Thank you

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!

This course is very heavy and need to practice more at lease for me. Some in most videos the pup-up questions just cut in middle of sentences which was a bit off. I have been asking myself does this certification is Enough for someone without any background to get an entry level job or it's just staring point for learning. How can I get a job with this certification and not have enough practice since most jobs even entry level requires 3-6 years experiences? It's hard and sometimes scary. But, I am gonna continue my learning because learning is good for brain 😁 Thank you

The course was very informative and well-organized (as always). All material clearly explained different assets, potential threats, and vulnerabilities, using real-world examples that enhanced my understanding. I appreciated the focus on risk assessment, which is vital in cybersecurity. Overall, it was engaging, but could benefit from more hands-on exercises for practical application.

Muy interesante pues te muestra un gran abanico de elementos que son básicos en la ciberseguridad. Esperaba que tuviera alguna parte más práctica, me ha parecido escasa. es por eso que le doy 4 estrellas

Overall very informative and well presented course. I'd really like more hands-on tasks than purely theoretical frameworks where possible. But still happy and motivated by this course content.

I loved the tutor and information provided is great and eye-opening. The only complain I'd have is she sometimes spoke real fast hard to follow but clear enough. Really enjoyed it!

The structure of this course isn't as clear as the previous ones, and some of the quiz questions are a little vague and confusing. But overall the instructor did a great job.

Faunistic course, I learned a lot but I can not give it five stars because I didn’t get to see some of the tools (IDS and the rest) mentioned in the course in action.

I liked the course expecially the theories provided as answers foe the portfolio; however, there is missing something namely real practical examples ?

This was a shorter course than I was expecting, with less details concerning practical techniques for dealing with threats than I'd anticipated.

I liked all the information provided in the course and videos. My only complaint is De'Quesha's continual hand movements were distracting.

I really liked this course and feel like I learned a lot about the terminology and documentation around managing security activities

lots of regurgitated information from previous courses. The amount of "new" info could easily just be added to a previous course 2.

The module was a little exhaustive although it was quite informative and important for the real-life threat modelling incidents.

Very good knowledge about different things like malware etc.. But could include some lab exercises or more activities.

It was a great course and a lot of information was reintroduced from the first course, so it was a great refresher.
