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 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.

While the instructor is probably a nice person.... you should use someone that is not as nervous in front of the camera (way out of control hand motions!).... also her mis pronouncing words (no 't's in the middle of words that should have t's - saying 'rooen' rather than rotten.... and ax rather than ask.... drive me crazy.....

I think this lesson could have used some more hands on approach for learning. Going from a course that was mostly hands on to a very not hands on made it difficult to stay focused on the material. (This is only in relation to part 5 or (course 5) of this certificate program.

I feel like I'm missing a little bit more of "real-life examples", the information is good but it's 98% theoretical. Give me videos of someone on a VM showing what they're doing like with the SQL samples.

Good course and material, but the excessive hand movements by the presenter just got to be far too distracting by end of the course, and made it hard to focus on the content being communicated.

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.

Since I am technical minded, this course was a bit boring for me. Not going deep enough into the various threats, focusing too much on terms, sequences and processes.

Projects are not interactive enough. Making it more interactive can help people understand and engage more intellectually

The course material was great. However, sorry to say this, but the presenter's tone and pronunciation were distractive.

Should maybe go before the Linux portion of the course. Very tedious and a lot of talking.

The teacher's constant hand gestures while talking were very distracting.

Videos were distracting due to mispronunciations and lisp on most words.

too much theory, not enough practice

Appreciate the effort putting content together. Among the modules so far, this one felt harder to get through due to the structure and explanations. Concepts could be better explained and perhaps combined with earlier modules to minimise overlap.

This course covered a lot of material and the expectations for absorbing that content quickly was too high. I did not feel adequately prepared to jump into the ungraded exercises or grasp some of the nuances of the material.

It is boring and continue to prolong so far. Its contents are also boring and prolonged. It's hard to understand and comprehend. Almost theory and challenging to watch and read and understand.

Very long and tedious course, the worst so far. I truly wish they would pick instructors based on their ability to speak and teach on camera, that is clearly NOT the case.

I enjoyed the material, but compared to the first course teacher this lady wasn't as smooth in her reading, presentation or pronunciation.

This was very trivial, especially being this late in the course, it seems un-needed.
