About the Course

This is the third 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 second Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. In this course, you will explore how networks connect multiple devices and allow them to communicate. You'll start with the fundamentals of modern networking operations and protocols. For example, you'll learn about the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) model and how network hardware, like routers and modems, allow your computer to send and receive information on the internet. Then, you'll learn about network security. Organizations often store and send valuable information on their networks, so networks are common targets of cyber attacks. By the end of this course, you'll be able to recognize network-level vulnerabilities, and explain how to secure a network using firewalls, system hardening, and virtual private networks. 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: - Describe the structure of different computer networks. - Illustrate how data is sent and received over a network. - Recognize common network protocols. - Identify common network security measures and protocols. - Explain how to secure a network against intrusion tactics. - Compare and contrast local networks to cloud computing. - Explain the different types of system hardening techniques....

Like guiding through network and security elements ... fast. Challenging and rich in content but not going into too deep. The following courses in the certificate will delve deeper, I imagine.

Although very interesting, it was a lot to try and understand. I do appreciate the course because network security is a large part of the industry. It wasn't my favorite course and I had to focus harder than the other courses so far but I did get through and do have some knowledge of network security that I didn't have before. I also have a better understanding of network security and practices.

too many unnecessary filler words while overloading with information. Almost feels like the writer of the course was disorganized and wanted to include everything without actually getting points across.

demasiada teoria y muy poca practica real, hablan mucho de las herramientas SIEM pero no ensenan a usarlas realmente, quiero descargar splunk y ver como funciona realmente

Great high level introduction to cybersecurity, but the industry does not recognize this certificate in any meaningful way and it has been nearly impossible to find a job.

great overall but i feel more activities such as matching games and flashcards should've been introduced to help us memorize or keep memory of most the useful terms.

With the money google has visuals and short films would make a substantial impact on memorizing or remembering for many

Module 1 was really too much all at once, but once you get past it, it get better.
