Good work by Google.

I just wished i could have many more questions in quizzes as they really test your understanding of the information you just got.

Deducting 1 star for few spelling mistakes and some inaccurate listed answers for questions in few quizzes.

I hope inaccuracies would be corrected and updated as soon as possible.

Thanks to Google and Coursera for bringing this course to life and pricing it very well for a developing country like India.

This course is a foundational course, but it still lacks the core of cybersecurity. A good start for someone who is interested in cyber security. I recommend google to build foundation course before jumping on the cyber security directly. Those courses should cover basics of computer science - ex operating system, computer networks, programming language in python, basics of cryptography and so on...that can be the foundation to this course.

It was very basic but it gives you a decent "lay of the land" for what to expect. This is just the first course out of the 8 that make up the Google Cybersecurity Cert. I recommend watching the videos on 1.25x speed at least but also just making sure to read the papers well. That will help you pass the small quizes they give you with a full score. I completed this course in a day and I'm a pretty slow reader.

I really enjoyed the course especially how Google incorporated their Google colors into the animations! The information taught was clear and well organized. I only have one criticism, in the "Core Skills for Cybersecurity Professionals" video, around 2:57, the instructor first introduced SIEM the *I* was not "Information" even though she said information the printed word is "incident".

Good course and good interface. There were a number of errors in the course, such as the definition of Availability as part of the CIA triad. A Google search shows that it the coursework is wrong, but the popup for reporting problems was mostly hidden in Google Chrome and would not allow me to submit. There was another definition error, but I forget what it is now.

A really good starting course for the cybersecurity field, a lot of the more known and well-established certificate programs out there assume you know all the basics, the issue is there's SO MUCH to learn that you'll sometimes feel lost if you choose to start with those programs, this program is really good in that regard and I can't wait to explore it more.

It's a great place to start to get a generalized view of cybersecurity. This is a good time to distinguish SOC operations from IT Operations, perimeter and interior protection. There is often a massive misconception that cybersecurity is a "reactive incident response." This module is the time to clarify the significant aspects of cybersecurity.

The ideas, practises, and technologies that form the core of cybersecurity protect digital systems and data from unauthorised access, assaults, and breaches. In an increasingly linked world, it entails risk assessment, encryption, network security, and user education to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

I felt there were way too many awkward definitions, and unimportant questions in quizzes that do not necessarily make you a better cybersecurity professional, but instead just tests your ability to memorize some definitions word-by-word, checking if you were paying very close attention to the sentencing used by the tutors in the course.

Deducting one star for having to place information security actions into arbitrary CISSP domains on test questions. I actually passed the CISSP exam and found this meaningless. Also felt some of the core concepts could be explained in better depth as most was surface level or glossary level definitions of concepts.

This course covers the basic definitions and concepts of cybersecurity. It is really a good start for those who want to enter the security field. It contains practice tests and graded assessments. You can also track your course improvement and have the ability to repeat lessons as much as you want. Time Flexible!

This is super good for folks who are totally new to tech and cyber security. However, all this could've been skimmed into a long video instead of several break-downs, which would help with saving time and keeping it simple. PS: The usage of the word "Entry level analyst" was way overused throughout the course.

I found this course to e an incredibly valuable experience. The materials was presented in a clear and concise manner, and the course was broken down into manageable sections that made it easy to follow along.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about cybersecurity.

The course offered a solid foundation in cybersecurity, covering key tools like SIEM and essential concepts such as security frameworks and ethics. It provided practical insights and expanded my understanding of how to handle security incidents effectively. Overall, it was a valuable introduction to the field.

The course material is good foundational information. Unfortunately, navigating the course was a challenge since it was always difficult to get back to the lesson, once I exited the browser. I had to try several times each day before it brought up my progress from the previous session and I could continue.

The course videos were basically the same content as IBM's and I was able to improve my prior understanding of frameworks and security controls. It was good for going over the basics and I was glad that the questions on the quizzes seemed to vary a bit more at least to keep the content engaging.

SOME OF THE VIDEOS HAVE SPELLING AND GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THEIR SCRIPTS. I ALSO THINK SOME EXTRA EXPLAINING IS NEEDED FOR SOME CONCEPTS, AND REALLY WISH THERE WAS A PRINTER FRIENDLY WAY TO PRINT THE READINGS AND MAYBE SOME ACCOMPANYING FLASHCARDS WITH THE GLOSSARY TERMS COULD BE HELPFUL..

While some of the videos can be a bit tedious, the information is great and it is all presented in a way that even someone with zero experience would be able to grasp quickly. I have a background in CISCO, and this course really lays out the very basics for a foundation of understanding.

This was an excellent course! I have a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity and Computer Networking, and this course covered the topics five times better than my university did. It was fun, engaging, and had a good balance of difficulty. The course was challenging, but easy to do.

The material is wonderful, but a few sections had too much stuff lumped together. Great video segments. Really wish the whole thing could be viewed in dark mode. 14 hours of white screens with gray text is not fun... Very happy to see the ethics and resources links ....

all the quiz and module wise challenges was very much interesting to do.some quizes i got passed in first time but for challenges i did it for several times.iam very much happy because even though i do the quizez incorrectly,each time i learned more about the statements.

A good introduction to cybersecurity. However, some of the quiz questions and answers didn't align, so you have to determine whether you're going to answer correctly or how you think they wanted you to answer even though it doesn't align with how the question was posed.

O curso foi muito bom, apenas achei desnecessário que só vamos poder tirar o certificado após o período de teste acabar. Qual o intuito de colocar o período de teste sendo que precisamos finalizar o período de teste? completamente desnecessário e uma perca de tempo.

A bit too high-level. Might be better to focus on foundational stuff, and dig a bit deeper. Why mentioning Linux, Python, and SQL at all? Introduce them later. Let students be more comfortable with the basics as to what frameworks is, what is a security control etc.

I think this course has some great fundamentals, but securing Windows is likely going to require learning Windows and hardware structure. I have learned a lot about the structure of Cybersecurity, and the tools that are used, so I will continue the course for now.
