About the Course

This is the fourth 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 third Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. In this course, you will explore computing skills that you’ll use on-the-job as a cybersecurity analyst. First, you'll practice using Linux, an operating system commonly used by cybersecurity professionals. For example, you'll use the Linux command line through the Bash shell to navigate and manage the file system and authenticate users. Then, you'll use SQL to communicate with a database. 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: - Explain the relationship between operating systems, applications, and hardware. - Compare a graphical user interface to a command line interface. - Identify the unique features of common Linux distributions. - Navigate and manage the file system using Linux commands via the Bash shell. - Use Linux commands via the Bash shell to authenticate and authorize users. - Describe how a relational database is organized. - Use SQL to retrieve information from a database. - Apply filters to SQL queries and use joins to combine multiple tables....

This class was very challenging and fun! I was so intimidated to start it, seriously took me 2 months of looking at it to finally get started and I am glad i did. I learned so much and it was fun!

This course really challenged me to the point I wasn't sure I would understand some

of the SQL context< but I stuck with it and am so proud of myself for passing this course.

Thank you

Coming in to this course, I was intimidated as I knew literally nothing on the subject matter. But once I got going, I quickly became familiar with Linux and SQL and developed the confidence to continue studying the material.

This was the only challenging so far. I love Linux and SQL commands. I absolutely will be running a Linux OS on my computer. I feel a step closer as we go to the next course. Great job to the Instructor as well.

I love this course! The contents are really placed for learning. It's convenient how you can take notes and do the activities. I wish the Full Stack Software Dev course with IBM was this good. Good course this!

Excellent course for beginners, instructor super clear. Labs are quite easy and along with topics don't go too much into details, but if you are learning these topics for the first time is the ideal course

The course itself was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. The instructor, not so much. It was just a person reading from a prompter with no real intonation or emotion.

I really enjoyed learning Linux and practicing the commands as I learned. I was familiar with MYSQL and I was able to get a quick review of the commands performed in them and syntax.

I already had experience with Linux and SQL as a Computer Science student but I did pick up a few CLI commands that I haven't used before. A good way to get your feet wet with both.

Fun and more interactive then the first 3 courses, with the introduction of labs to practice and explore Linux and SQL. I found it to be a bit difficult, but ultimately rewarding.

This is real gritty but once we master the concepts and understand the query language, there will be no stopping us from a leadership or technical aspect of our roles.

Incredibly difficult to learn for beginners but at the same time it's loads of fun! After you complete this course you end up wanting to learn more about SQL and Bash!

Its a great course to study, but I prefer if the instruction or lectures were to be done in both video and reading so that learners will have options to choose from.

I enjoyed the breakdowns of the lesson material and the hands-on activities. Both made it much easier to understand and enjoy learning about and using Linux and SQL.
