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.

I opted for 5/5 if the concept of FORENSICS given proper priority as part of the finding root cause for the cyber threat attack.

Anyway the rest of the course content and the presentation is top notch.

I feel good and convey my hearty Congratulations for the candidate who have passed this certificate and wish you good luck for rest of the certificates and for you future endeavor to get success.

Thank you and have a great day..

This course was pretty good, definitely more interesting than the first part. But I still wish it had more detail, more examples and more redundancy. Because all of this highly abstract new knowledge and terminology first has to find its way into your brain. It would be nice to get some repetition, even if it makes the sections longer. Otherwise, interesting material and walk-through with the audit!

I have learned a lot more about cyber security than I previously knew, I have a better understanding of how important it is to protect information and assets from cyber criminals. One aspect of cyber security I hope improves is the ability of law enforcement to track down and arrest people and criminal organizations who use computers to steal money and commit crimes.

This course was a great intro to Playbooks and SIEM tools. It made me excited to continue to learn more. When I was discouraged from not understanding something, the videos from the other IS people helped to calm my nerves down as well. It was nice to hear from different people in this field.

A strong course focusing on cybersecurity frameworks, playbooks, SIEM tools, and related topics. Instructors are knowledgeable, and the content is well-structured. While it's comprehensive, there's room for deeper insights. Highly recommended for those seeking foundational knowledge.

Excellent, the only part that I did not like was the way of introducing the SIEM tools and the playbooks, I think it was very theoretical, a practical section in a real environment would have been more educational and easier to understand. Although, congrats! Such a nice course.

Overall a very great Course, although there was a bit more theory involved than I liked, still it had some very practical concepts and also a portfolio project which I liked very much. I would appreciate if the course is more project-oriented then it currently is.

According to information gain about cybersecurity its give all important detail need to know to hander security risk. It need to add little bit more practical case study and tools work diagrams/video show case how work is done. Great time learning this.

It was a wonderful course, I learnt a lot of things but I had issues with the sound. It was really low. I used a chrome browser and I know it was not from my end. I'll recommend the instructors wear a pin lapel mic to help capture sound properly.

It needs more real life examples and more visual images, videos or charts about how SIEM tool dashboards look like, how alerts work in the software. More examples about the usage of playbooks. As well as to go more in depth with SOAR tools.

I definitely got a much better understanding of the core values and some of the tools and concepts used in this field. Really drove some of the concepts home for me and gave me confidence that I am learning and building on a knowledge base.

Overall the course was good and pretty easy to understand. There was a problem with the security audit assignment. I had to create my own form as the boxes that needed to be marked on the original document could not be checked off.

Maybe a little too much overlap between course 1 and 2, and I was expecting more real job-related tasks to complete, but I learned a lot and I'm looking forward to the next course.

The course is ok, but having more training and projects on IT Audit would have been awesome. because I am really poor and can't afford those expensive IT audit courses.
