Hi Cyber Queen thanks for good content review, I finished Google Cybersecurity course and wondering how you can get 30% discount on Security+ ? Where is let's say discount code or something?
job had got laid off in April but recently achieved Sec+, currently going after Cysa+, i know its hard out here but don't feel discouraged and keep going. God's timing is always precise!
I love your comment and positive vibe! Definitely inspiring. It’s hard I agree but it seems like you have a really good plan and will bounce back in no time! You got this 👏🏽👍🏽
The program is of great value. I'm currently enrolled in the 4th course and find the content quite in-depth. There are two reasons I am taking this certification: #1. Prep for the Security+. #2. Building a portfolio to showcase my skills. All the labs and projects I've completed so far have gone directly to my GitHub. So far...I'm incredibly impressed with what Google has created for entry-level learners.
I love how you’re training and learning skills to apply on your GitHub. I’ve done some labs from a cybersecurity bootcamp I’m currently enrolled in and need to do the same thing!
Hello, Chicka. Your video is the only one that really compares Sec + to the Google CS course, and it now makes obvious that I should not be nervous about taking Sec + and should go with Sec + right after my Google CS course. A wealth of knowledge! Thank you very much! And best wishes with your channel.
Nice! Well done! Thank you Cyber Queen. I’m enrolled in the program of Google Cybersecurity Certification. So far, I loved it. Good info and Thank you for sharing … Subscribed
I registered and started the course a couple of days ago, I find it to be of great value, I have tried to study for the Security+ exam and found the material very dry even for someone like me who has 20+ years of IT experience as a Field Service Engineer, I am looking forward to successfully complete the course and also continue learning additional skills to land a new job, thanks for the great video.
Hi dear Cyber Queen, I purchased the security + voucher few weeks ago and with this new training from Google I was wondering if it is not just redundant! You convinced me to do both thank to this presentation. Indeed, the hands-on Iabs sounds really great. I have to be patient and persevering before more advanced cyber security certifications…
Security+ gets you a DOD position certified worldwide instead of august having a good certificate. Security+ is a requirement for most cyber positions or government.
Currently on the 4th module. I’m learning a lot of valuable information. So far I’ve learned how to properly generate incident reports and decipher displays from the tcpdump packet analyzer. I’m hooked. Can’t wait to get the next module. As suggested I plan to pair this with Sec+ and a few hands on Eric Capuano projects for more immersive experiences. I want to go into the interview knowing what I’m talking about lol.
I'm on course 5 on Google cybersecurity certificate and for someone with little knowledge of IT and 0 knowledge at the time on cybersecurity I can say it's great. My favorite course is the 4to one cuz it gave me the opportunity to work on linux and sql solving real problems
Got my sec+ almost 2 months ago but no one bats an eye as far as recruiters/jobs applied to.. not like when i got my ccna and actually started doing sysadmin/ network stuff.. security is too saturated
Indeed, one of the primary purposes of the Google certification is that it helps prepare you for the Sec+. You even get a discount on the Sec+ test. They aren't in competition. But _X vs Y_ video titles get clicks. :-)
I loved your video. I your voice speed is great. I can understand you very well. Your video really encouraged me to continue for getting my certification. Thank you for the really nice content about it.
Just started the Google course! Already like it better than CompTIA’s. I’m not bored like I kinda was feeling w CompTIA. What can people expect to get as a starting salary with a few of these certs under their belt in cybersecurity or maybe on the IT side?
It’s definitely more exciting than just the theory in security+. From a salary perspective, it depends on various factors like location, type of company, size of the company etc in the US it’s probably around 65k as a basic start. I have seen way more and sometimes less offered to beginners.
I just started the course 3 weeks ago. I’m loving it and it’s been a great experience so far. I came in having no experience whatsoever in cyber security and I feel like I will be in a much better space once I complete it.
I would go for both. It doesn't hurt. In fact, I completed the Google Cybersecurity first last year and passed my Sec+ just two weeks ago. I believe the Google Cybersecurity helped me clear Sec+ on the first attempt. Oh, I also took the free ICS2 course for the CC prior to attempting the Sec+. However, I decided to go for the CC only after my Sec+. So, exactly 5 days after passing my Sec+, I also passed the CC.
Already pre-enrolled✌🏽 I guess this is a response to Google's Professional Certificate😅 Microsoft noticed that if people get involved with Google via this Series of Courses, they will also lean towards the Google Cloud Platform and then Bard, and so on haha. I'm loving all this. I'll take Microsoft's Courses as well, but I must say I'm loving Google's courses as well. 4/8 Courses completed🙌🏽 Let's see what Microsoft brings to the table.
@@AlexisChateau, yes, I saw it. I somehow have the same opinion. - Microsoft tried to break things down, like, dividing it in more submodules. I can't yet tell how well their teaching | methodology is. Let's see next month, when they launch the first course. - IBM has remarkable professionals and also has a fair course structure, but their way of bringing the content is poorer. The old, dry way. - Google nailed their way of presenting stuff. Vocabulary, Glossary Pages, Readings that are reeeaaally worth it the time, always explains the goals for the Module and where you're currently at, and also tried to expose a bit of everything - the dry part, SQL, Linux, Python, and so on. Not too deep, but at least you have an idea about them. Google's approach is cutting-edge. You even get those Templates and stuff. - Cisco also recently launched a SOC Specialisation. It's not like the others, since it's a more specific field of Cybersecurity, but say you finish one of the others and don't feel like doing IAM, Architectural stuff, etc..., then Security Operations could be a nice thing to look at.
Problem with all the Google certificates is they are all unprotected quizzes, labs, and activities that you can find the answers online. I don’t think hiring managers take them seriously for this reason. They do have a lot of great information I’m doing the IT support and it actually has a lot more in depth information than the A+.
I think that would be a great option as well. But thereafter I would move away from beginner certifications to a more intermediate certification and skill level 🌸🌸
Almost through with the Google cyber security on coursera. I would say it’s worth it and very hands on. Honestly i might not do the CompTIA security +. The only reason I might change my mind is if I want to go into go tech
Hey Venicia, i have experience in Azure but trying to get a foothold on GCP.. just wondering is the google cybersec certification a good course for someone who already has an experience? Thanks!
Don’t touch google security certs unless you want some insight of cyber or have no degree or experience in infosec. However, The security + is more valuable, see dod 8570 certification list 🎉
Have you watched this video? Maybe it could help with the next step? CompTIA Security + Certified? Here's your next step🤯 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1C5oWXUEgQo.html
Hi CyberQueen. Do you think there are possible opportunities for some of us based in Africa to secure remote Cybersecurity jobs from US companies? I noticed most of the remote jobs listings requires applicants to be based in certain cities in the United States. I am currently undergoing the google cyber security course and by God's grace would immediately go for the CompTIA Sec+, but I am unsure about getting remote jobs from companies in the US or Europe. What are your thoughts. Thanks.
I think this is possible if the company has an operating license in South Africa or can pay you through PayPal or an international account. The limitations with remote work is different employment requirements, regulations and laws. I think it is very possible, if the company has an operating or employment arrangement/ agreement
I greatly appreciate quality affordable education but let's be real.. ain't no one landing a 100k salary with 1 cert 😂you'd be lucky to get half of that
Question, I plan on taking the it support specialist and cybersecurity course from Google, and then after those, study for security plus, is this a good plan for someone with no experience in IT? My main goal is to be a Pentester and I know I have long time before that and I'm ok with being apart of the blue team first. Just wanna know the right path before I pull the trigger on Google because I don't see the certs listed on job descriptions yet
Hey, this is a good plan, but I think if you want to be a pentester, you should also start with practicing some hacking skills on platforms like TryHackMe.
Am enjoying the Google cybersecurity certification training, I will get other certification and training on cybersecurity tools and handon practicals, rather than doing CompTia+
i feel like they can cut most of the fluff content and the prompted responses to make it feel like its more valuable. Writing a paragraph on why you are entering the field is useless and a waste of time. Most people work because we need money to do things in our life that are worth doing. studying hard taking the cert will always be more worth it in my opinion. its harder but i feel you retain more usefull information.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I get what you mean, Google certification might seem pretty basic for those who are already into internet compu stuff. But hey, it's still a great way to enhance your skills.
You forgot to mention the quizzes. Also, like their IT Support Professional certificate paired with passing the Network+, I wonder with this 1 if you will get a dual certification distinction paired with Security+. Mind you, this is different from just only obtaining both separately. My guess is yes. I approve of your review.✔
@@jayvet8402Hi, you do not automatically get any of the CompTIA certificates. You get prepared and a discount but you still have to certify on your own.
I am a Data Center Support Engineer and i got my Msc in Cybersecirity afterwards. I have my SC-900 but want a real industry experience, What do you advise?
I would find out if there are shadow opportunities in the organization where you work as a start. to get more knowledge and hands on, practise on ACloudGuru, and go for the AZ-500, thereafter you should be in a good position to apply for jobs.
I think it depends on your skills and network, and also how you construct your resume and how you are applying for jobs, if you get the steps correct, you may very well be able to get an entry level job.
Did you have any knowledge of cybersecurity before this, and if not, did the cybersecurity course help you pass the security + without any further resources?
Hey queen, i have no funds to get a degree or course, what can i do to study proper material, and have a company take my qualifications seriously, so that i can get a good job from this 🇿🇦
I mean no offense, but I was wondering about your qualifications to provide advice on cyber security, particularly in relation to certifications. I'm just curious because, personally, I refrain from giving advice in areas where I don't have the necessary expertise. I've been working in this field even before it was referred to as cyber security, so I understand the importance of qualifications.
No offence taken, my profile is on LinkedIn where you can view all my education and certifications. Moreover, I share my personal experience, thoughts and knowledge with others who may wish to enter the industry and find it inaccessible or don’t know what directions are available. If it helps even just one person I am very happy with that outcome 😊 I don’t think there is a qualification required to share experience, a personal journey and learnings so that others can make more informed decisions.
@@jay_wright_thats_right No for the past two to three months I’ve been literally intaking any and all content about cybersecurity on this app. And I’ve watch almost all of the videos on this course as well. She is one of probably 4 women to cover this and the rest are men. And no one has ever ever ever questioned the credentials of any of the men I’ve watched. Ever. I’m just pointing out a bias that is quite obvious.
@@jay_wright_thats_rightYou didn't understand the point. The original comment was questioning her knowledge. He wouldn't have asked about her skills if this video was made by a man but because she's a woman he questions her.
I agree it’s deffinitely worth it. I am currently enrolled in the program after completing the google data analytics course in about 5 weeks. I am on pace to complete the cyber security program in the same amount of time. I do plan to get the dual certification with Comptia security plus before I start applying. I have no prior IT experience and feel that having both will give me a better shot of landing my first job in Cyber security
Im a network engineer and Im taking the CCNA exam on october. Didn't know what cybersec is better, but now I think both (Google cert and security+) will be very good next to the CCNA on the resume. Thanks for the video. Helped me a lot!
I finished the course in about a week, but I have my Sec+ already. The part I had the most fun but trouble was the SQL and Python part as I do not have much background in this information. However since completing the course, I have been learning python from the ground up!
The google cybersecurity is pretty good. I been taking it and found some useful information. I currently on course 2 and look at all the courses. Looks like a solid course for someone who's thinking about cybersecurity.
The question is DO employers care about the Google Security Certification? They sure didn't value the Google IT Customer Support Certification. Watch people say they achieved a Google Cert on LinkedIn - crickets. Even if you get a Google cert you still need the equivalent CompTIA cert and Google is not teaching you for the test...so it's not an either or. The Google Cert is just a learning tool not a cert.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! It's always helpful to hear different perspectives on certifications and how they are valued in the job market. This kind of discussion helps us all make more informed decisions about our career paths.
Currently on the 5th module and I’m loving it so far. Specially since I’m just getting into the space of cybersecurity google makes it really fun and easy to understand because most people online make it seem hard with all the boot camps that are offered elsewhere. Love your video ❤❤
I am doing the Google cybersecurity certification. I am on my last two courses out of 8. It is worth it since as a whole course dedicated to Python. I do highly recommend finding a mentor in cybersecurity who can guide you on landing your first job.
Many thanks! I'm in the middle of Module 6 (of 8) in the Google Cert. I find the quick pace of the course makes it very easy to follow (even for those without much technical knowledge). I signed up on Jun 16th, so if I can finish it by July 23rd (which I should), I will have only paid for one month of Coursera. Right after I finish it, I will pay for a test CompTIA Sec+ exam and go from there.
@@cyber.queen_ Many thanks! I completed the Google course yesterday aft, and I have a test Sec+ exam scheduled tomorrow after work. So, in all, it took me exactly one month to complete (part time). Note that I have been a web app developer for 20+ years, and I have been exposed to many of these concepts before (some in depth). I do believe that anyone, regardless of background, can take this course, and gain knowledge and confidence to moving into the cybersecurity field. In the end of course survey, a few questions were related to whether we switched jobs into cybersecurity while going thru the course. I thought that was very interesting. I wonder if anyone updated LinkedIn after every module, and was hired while doing the course. 🤷♂
I'm torn on whether or not I should get the CompTIA Security+ Cert because I finished the Google course on Monday and have been researching if I need the comptia cert despite the 30% off they give you. Should I just get the security+ as well so it looks better on a resume?
Comptia Security+ holds a lot more weight than the Google Cybersecurity course and it is a much harder exam than Google. Don't get me wrong, Google course is awesome, but Security+ is more accepted as the test is given in an exam atmosphere.
@@franknoneofya9585 if you were a hiring manager would u hire someone who study to explain a topic theoretically or someone who can applied it? Security + is hard bcuz u have to cramp all that amount of theory to pass a exam and come out and still don't know how to use Snort, wire-shark or TCPdump to analyze a network packet.. don't fall for the hype. some of the best hackers or SOC analyst don't have security + but they can get stuff done.
@triumphant_54 I'm going to put it one way and then go into an explanation. For you to get a government job, you're going to need the security+ at minimum. This is mostly because the government can teach you skills, they can't read the theory behind things for you. So they would rather you have the theory down and teach you the skills. BTW those are amongst the highest paying jobs out there. Now as far as skills, you should be working on your own to attain those skills and it doesn't take much time to learn them, they also help you understand and put to use your security+ learning. So skill supplements knowledge, knowledge doesn't supplement skill, so ask yourself which is more important now.
I’m uncertain about taking either the google cybersecurity certificate or the Microsoft cybersecurity certificate. Would like to prep for the sec+, I’ve watched videos and read that the google one helps you build more practical labs, and the MS one is more geared towards MS environments. At this point anything that would help with the Sec+.
It's great that you're considering both options but practical labs can be a game-changer for learning cybersecurity skills. I definitely recommend The Google Cybersecurity Certificate😉 as a prep for the Security +
I just finished the cert & I believe this course is amazing! I’ve learned so much! Do you think completing this course is enough to pass the security + exam?
I have a question. I just bought the Sec + book and planning on studying that and taking the test. It’s more cost efficient for me. Is this way a good idea. Self study and take the test?
