I highly recommend the Google Cybersecurity Specialisation! The course content is comprehensive, covering essential topics like network security, encryption, and threat detection, while maintaining a clear, approachable format. The hands-on labs were particularly useful for reinforcing key concepts and building real-world skills. This course has significantly boosted my understanding of cybersecurity and has equipped me with practical skills to advance in the field. Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your expertise, this course is a fantastic investment in your professional growth!

It's very dense but absolutely essential basic material being shared in this Course. Unlike with previous Courses under the same Professional Certification, it required a lot more of personal involvement to engage with the information and activities given in order to not only to complete them, but also to be able to continue making use of them after this Course is done and dusted. Highly recommend that everyone "new" to/ not fluent with the entirety of the 8 Domains of Cybersecurity regardless of current role or preferences, to acquaint with, engage, and prevail over this Course's contents!

Google has been actively involved in the field of cybersecurity, particularly in the areas of detection and response. Their efforts in this domain have garnered positive reviews from experts and users alike. With a focus on sound alarm systems, Google has implemented robust measures to identify and mitigate potential threats. Their proactive approach to cybersecurity has been commended for its effectiveness and efficiency. Overall, Google's dedication to cybersecurity and their continuous improvement in detection and response capabilities have earned them high praise in the industry.

I am thrilled to give the Google Professional Cyber Security Course a resounding highest rating. The meticulous attention to detail in the 'Sound the Alarm: Detection and Response' module equipped me with invaluable skills in incident containment, packet analysis, and utilizing SIEM tools effectively. The course's comprehensive approach and hands-on learning experiences exceeded my expectations, making it an indispensable resource for anyone serious about cyber security. Highly recommended for whom, who want to be expert in IT and Cyber Security career!

This course, as in the others in this specialization, presents a very good outline of the subject matter. The quizzes and activities can be completed using the information given within the course. That information is organized well and is well and clearly presented. However, it is important to take the reading assignments seriously. This course is a start. It sets the learner on a path. To get the full value of the course, the learner will need to go beyond the material within the course and follow up on the references cited in the reading assignments.

I would have liked more labs on splunk & chronicle. The Chronicle lab is in the process of being updated, which is disclosed, so it was not as clear and functional as the other labs have been but nothing that could not be worked out by simple trial and error exploring Chronicle and reading some documentation. No complaints, I learned a lot and part of this career is working around problems & finding the answer... My philosophy behind my work has always been to admit if I don't know something, but I am motivate to go find you an answer.

I really did find it interesting with the Security tools such as the IDs like Suricata and the thing I personally found out helpful to me is that the instructor was very smooth through his lectures, the tone was just perfectly, didn't go fast nor to slow just perfect and the way he maintained eye contact mimicked like he was talking to me directly even though I know they are reading from a screen on their end.

This certificate in particular contains a lot of hands on quizzes. Personally I rate it the best certificate of the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate program (excluding the python for the next one in the program) because it provides or teaches several everyday tools used by actual cybersecurity analysts and the Instructor is very clear, shows confidence and control in his voice.

Course 6 of the Google Cybersecurity specialisation was a good introduction to

-the incident response lifecycle/operations/tools

-packet capture/PCAP, with a practical pcap analysis exercise using tcpdump

-process documentation vs cybersecurity (response) playbook

-triage process

-log collection, with demos for Splunk and Google Chronicle SIEM tools

-demo for Suricate intrusion detection system

A tougher course compared to the previous ones, but a thoroughly challenging and intriguing one. You'll learn a lot of different tools, like Suricata, Chronicle, Splunk, Wireshark, tcpdump etc. You'll also learn how to read and produce effective documentation for depending on your audience; an incident report for the CEO will be different from a report for security teams.

This course is really good and totally worth your time. My knowledge of incident response and detection has been shaped and improved. The delivery of the subject matter is accommodating in its easiness to understand. The videos are super easy to understand as are the reading sections. The tests too serve to solidify your understanding.

This course is amazing, so much information and practice available. One suggestion I would give is the Splunk and Chronicle lab could've had more than 1 example to make me feel a bit more confident, as I felt still slightly unconfident using those technologies. But hey, we all need to start somewhere and this was a great introduction!

This was a good overview course, and I understood that there is still much to learn and more in-depth work. The labs were helpful here to give us a taste of what it is like to use the Chronicle and Splunk tools. The course definitely helped me better understand use of these tools and how they fit in overall into cybersecurity work.

This is one of the best training I have ever had. I've been taking courses from other schools and paid thousands of dollars, but the Google cybersecurity professional training course is the best training I have had. I am delighted. After this excellent training, I hope to get a Job replacement or an entry-level from Google.

The entire Google Cybersecurity Certificate program is perfect and I have taken a lot of courses but I never see a course like that, the Certificate Program is really Career Changing, Note: I didn't complete this course properly because I want to review it 2 to 3 times for better understanding. Thank you so much Google.

Dave is a wonderful teacher. There is so much content in this course. The labs are important to practice the skills described in the videos and the reading. The additional resources are interesting and involved. It takes a lot of time to read so much new material and to practice the labs. It is a worthwhile experience.

The main instructor and visitors inspire me to learn and work in cyber security field. Besides that, the lectures are delivered in cleared and concise way. The lab are designed well to help me review and practice what I learned in the lectures.

Course was fun as it was explained better and it was explained deep the topic which was cover earlier and there were lab practice too with the tools and more.So it was fun and learn couple of new stuff and some which I know in details.

It all starts out a little hard to understand especially if you have no previous knowledge but because the lessons are thorough and at your own pace it really becomes a lot easier to understand towards the end of the lesson.

Great course! So far the most hands-on approach which I like. I was introduced to many tools that will be used throught my future career as a security professional. Thanks to Google and Coursera for this quality content!

This course was excellent. The explanation was nice, and the reading materials provided were so supporting. The labs were beneficial in exploring various security tools like Suricata, Splunk, Chronicle, and Wireshark.

A great course indeed. Keep up the good work you are doing. People like myself ,who were marginalized from the tech industry through lack of knowledge, now have access to the best resources.

I am loving it.

This has been exciting learning platform the course has helped me improve my learning the cyber threats and the analysis of the logs. I look forward to applying them in the real work environment,

Very Informative and now i am certain i want to do this type of work. I want to protect everyone's data and privacy. Hopefully automated so we dont have to manually go through confidential data.

This was an excellent course. One recommendation that I would offer is to add additional tutorials/instruction on how to use the tools with additional exercises.
