Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate
During the 8 courses in this certificate program, I learned from cybersecurity experts at Google and gained in-demand skills that prepared me for entry-level roles like cybersecurity analyst, security operations centre (SOC) analyst, and more.
Organizations must continuously protect themselves and the people they serve from cyber-related threats, like fraud and phishing. They rely on cybersecurity to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their internal systems and information. Cybersecurity analysts use a collection of methods and technologies to safeguard against threats and unauthorized access — and to create and implement solutions should a threat get through.
The Google Cybersecurity Certificate helped me prepare for the CompTIA Security+ exam, the industry-leading certification for cybersecurity roles. So I earned a dual credential by completing both 🔥.
This program includes 170 hours of instruction and hundreds of practice-based assessments and activities that simulate real-world cybersecurity scenarios that are critical for success in the workplace. Through a mix of videos, assessments, and hands-on labs, I became familiar with the cybersecurity tools, platforms, and skills required for an entry-level job.
Skills I gained include Python, Linux, SQL, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), communication, collaboration, analysis, problem-solving and more!
