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.

I had to do this while sick and injured...BRUTAL. But this course WILL teach you the working skills of it. Just make sure to know how to set up your computer when you go to work and you're good.

The material is very good. I would only say that there feels like a giant gap between the quizzes vs the portfolio activities. The difference in difficulty level is palpable. The quizzes are easier to manage probably because I receive adequate exposure to the information before the quiz. The portfolio activities seem to be the opposite, where you are essentially trying to put something together that you don't have much familiarity with and you really only see what you were supposed to do or could have done after observing the exemplar. The guiding/ quiz portfolio questions/examples are helpful and the idea that our work may look different to the exemplar is understandable, but it does produce a question of, "Will the employer appreciate my portfolio, or is the exemplar better?"

Really enjoyed this lesson. Challenging but really good material. I liked the assignments, however, I would prefer assignments not to be mid-lesson. It messes with my focus. Im focused during the lesson reading, watching video, taking notes, then the assignments pops up and I have to shift my brain in a different direction, then go back to focusing on video, note taking and reading. It throws me off. I like the assignments a lot. For me, as a learner and my brain, I would prefer to do assignments at the end as opposed to in the middle of the lesson. Im sure Im the only weirdo with that brain function issue. lol Great material!
