I used the Google cybersecurity certificate to prepare me for Security +. It served it's purpose. I ended up landing a job as a network tech for a gov contractor.

@JonGoodCyber 10 месяцев назад

It's debatable how much preparation the Google Cybersecurity Certificate even provides towards the Security+ because it's so surface-level. That said, it's great to see that you kept moving onto a higher-level objective.

@ajramirez77 10 месяцев назад

@henryijeoma In the US, if you want to work for the government, you're going to need Security + to work in IT. You need a cert that satisfies DoD 8570 IAT Level II and Sec+ does just that. My employer assessed that I'd be a good fit as a network tech then move me to their SOC after I learn their system. Starting pay is 68k.

@JonGoodCyber 7 месяцев назад

You're welcome to voice your opinion, and certainly, getting through the Security+ is an excellent career milestone. I like to compare the Google Cybersecurity certificate to being at a restaurant where they give you bread or chips and salsa before you even get an appetizer, but the restaurant doesn't actually offer the appetizer, main meal, or dessert....this gives you something to snack on, but there's a lot of ground to make up to actually pass something like the Security+.

You had asked for us to comment on why we wanted to get into cyber security. I'm a former software developer, roughly from 1991 - 2012 ... as you can tell, I'm on the older side of people thinking of this industry, and I am very interested in the cyber security career. I was studying about a year ago for the Security+ certification, and convinced myself that having that on my resume would not be enough to get my foot in the door, and did not take the exam. Now, I'm ready to spend some money and try to get that door opened, even though I have a '6' in the first digit of my age. 😀

Currently half way through the course on the Linux portion. I have been enjoying the amount of knowlegdge i'm soaking in based on this whole course. This for me was the best way to introduce myself in the field as i'm currentlly working in help desk for about 1.5 yeears and looking for the next step. I'm definetly looking forward to using the sec + voucher especially since my employer agreed to pay for the exam with the voucher once I complete this certificate. I am already prepard to study for the 601 after I finish this course. Any advice on what I should be doing now as im going through the course or even after completetion besides taking the sec+ ?

@JonGoodCyber 10 месяцев назад

If you're already taking the certificate training, use it for what it is...a basic introduction...and I wouldn't really stop and get caught up on anything. The reality is that it only covers a very small subset of the knowledge that you need for the Security+, and it doesn't do all that great of a job so it's not worth trying to overachieve through it. I recommend grabbing my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) and looking at the roadmap because if you have gaps in your knowledge right now, the course isn't going to fix that. This will also give you an idea of the skills and certifications that you need for all areas of Cybersecurity. Then I would check out Cyber Training Pro ( www.cybertrainingpro.com/ ) where there's a bunch of training and career services to really accelerate your career progression.

@a_random_guy2671 10 месяцев назад

I remember taking my first google course on coursera and thinking I was gonna get access to this exclusive job platform only to be severely underwhelmed by career circle. I receive notifications about jobs that give priority to google certificate holders and when I follow the link its usually an non tech related call center job. Rushing through the cert during the free trial to get the 30% off comptia voucher, then studying elsewhere is probably the best way to utilize the course

@JonGoodCyber 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing! It's definitely over glamorized and I didn't even need to complete the certificate to identify that. Their course videos felt more like promotional videos than training content. The Security+ voucher has some benefit even if you have to pay a month of Coursera fees but at two months it's basically a break even and not worth it. Something not in this video that I noticed was the amount of discussion forum posts from participants dropped way off towards the end so I wonder if people are quitting early.

@a_random_guy2671 10 месяцев назад

@@JonGoodCyber I definitely believe people are quitting early. It wasn't half as interesting as the It or automation with python course. I only did about half before I decided it wasn't worth it. I already had sec+ and will have sql and python courses through my school in the next few months.

Google definitely oversells these courses. I took the Data Analytics course and it barely scratched the surface and in no way, shape, or form did it get me career ready. I decided to take the Google Cyber one since it gets you prepped for the Security+ cert. What are your thoughts on the Microsoft Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate offered by Coursera?

@kidthorazine 10 месяцев назад

I to the MS security course and the google one, the MS one covers a lot of the same ground but also feels super marketing heavy this time with a focus on Azure/AD and other MS products, but it does sort of go through Azure/AD 101 which is very important and something that the google course skips over completely.

@JonGoodCyber 8 месяцев назад

From a job market standpoint, you still have a similar issue where employers aren't asking for the certification. Looking at the content itself, it appears to be built to give you some immediate skills but you're not going to have broad knowledge of security as it's highly focused on building those specific skills.

@Crog2 10 месяцев назад

My vote is clearly for Google Cybersecurity Certificate ... and nobody paid me for that :) Explanation: in my opinion Google Cybersecurity Certificate is actually good as an entry-level training. Outside of US, Comptia Security+ isn't that popular and highly demanded. In my country Google certificate training costs 14$ (still cheap in US - 49$/month less expensive what Sec+ costs, 400$) and you get comparable knowledge as Security+ . In fact, Google Cybersec has hands-on which Security+ doesn't. This is a huge plus for Google certificate. We can discuss how in-depth or not those hands-on are, but hey, this is entry level cert.

@JonGoodCyber 10 месяцев назад

You're welcome to your opinion; however, you will never convince me of any significant value in certifications that employers don't list in job postings, among many other reasons, some of which are stated in this video review. Your statement about the Security+ not having hands-on is actually false. Plenty of tools and technologies are covered by the exam objectives. That means if you do not get hands-on experience, that is either a function of ignoring the exam objectives, a failure on your training provider, or both. Additionally, the hands-on labs inside the Coursera training are not graded for accuracy or completeness and can be easily bypassed, as stated in this review. The Google Cybersecurity Certificate and Security+ are nowhere near the same caliber of coverage.

@Crog2 10 месяцев назад

@@JonGoodCyber "you will never convince me of any significant value in certifications that employers don't list in job postings" - well, yes, it's new one. Only time will show. "That means if you do not get hands-on experience," - a big majority of Sec+ certified folks have just done video course + probably have read book + practice exams. That applied to 95+% as reddit comtpia's channel and discord channel have demostrated. Sad but true. You're talking about ideal approach of Sec+ certification which included labs which will cost extra 100-200$ and only small percentage of people want to pay for it. While Security+ is only multiple choice + PBQs it's essentially still purely theoretic exam.

@sahilsvision 8 месяцев назад

@@JonGoodCyber "you will never convince me of any significant value in certifications that employers don't list in job postings" Do you know that a lot of job listings are posted by recruiters that just copy whatever other similar job listings have? Security+ is outdated. The Google Certification by itself will not land you a job, you will need to put in work by doing side projects, build a portfolio, learn various tools like Splunk and others, and it will also help to pair it with other certs. Additionally, you get a 30% off coupon for Security+, and from everything posted online the Google Certification covers a lot of what Security+ covers and then some. So you are getting a 30% off coupon and you are getting prepared for the Security+ cert, with a little more studying you can get both.

Not going over Windows and AD is something I realized I should have learned before even being exposed a threat, vulnerability, or risk, incident response, wireshark, python ect.

I think lots of people think this is an ALL IN ONE cert, although it says in the description that it was built alongside CompTIA as an intro for people with no background and want to take the security+ cert. which is the main reason I am taking this one just to get BASIC knowledge so that I can take that, along with other studying, and attempt security+. (also apparently you get a discount for it lol) I will hopefully be back shortly with an update once I finish the course :D

@JonGoodCyber 6 месяцев назад

Good luck, and hopefully, whatever caused the break is behind you! When you're a new or aspiring professional, one of the challenges is that all knowledge seems good, but you don't have the context from experience to see what you actually end up using. That said, you should use what employers list in job postings to help drive your learning and development. Ultimately, the Google Cybersecurity Certificate isn't something employers are asking for; it just takes a simple job search to validate what I'm saying. Google unnecessarily focuses on very introductory things as if people can't handle certain concepts. In contrast, Cyber Training Pro focuses on giving you the most effective and efficient path possible, going from zero knowledge/skills to a fully proficient professional. I wouldn't call them competitors because Google is really targeted at people who are very unsure if they want to get into the career field, but past that point, you would want to turn to Cyber Training Pro to get the actual training and advice required.

@JonGoodCyber 6 месяцев назад

Totally understand and as you progress in your journey, more options become available based on budget and for other reasons. The CIA triad is a fundamental concept for Cybersecurity, so it is definitely covered. Think of the Google course as scratching the surface where they briefly talk about some topics to give you a "taste," however the Cyber Training Pro course covers information at a deeper level instead of just briefly mentioning topics. As far as prep for the Security+, you will definitely have to do more studying after the Google program whereas the Cyber Training Pro course is built specifically to prepare you based on the exam objectives.

Anything that you can do to develop a deeper interest. This can include podcasts, RU-vid videos, search on Google for Cybersecurity projects, or possibly look at Try Hack Me.

Being in high school doesn't change my opinion of the program, as the facts are the facts. I recommend working through the roadmap in my eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) because that will give you a solid foundation and is ultimately what employers seek. If you're planning on going to university/college, I encourage you to take your time and learn the content since you aren't likely to be entering the workforce for a while. If you're going straight to work, then still take your time, but obviously, you will use the knowledge quicker.

First, you have to be careful with employers saying they will pay for degrees because often, they will only pay for degrees/training related to your job. They also usually make you work for them for a certain amount of time after completing the program. Second, a degree is not a firm requirement in general for the career field, and I certainly wouldn't let an employer hold me hostage when I could start working on breaking into the career field and then figure out how to get the degree if still desired.

I just finished the Google IT support studying Comptia A+ and Network + as a foundation of IT. I do not want to be a importer in my future Cybersecurity career. I am planning as my roadmap to do the Google Cybersecurity and also the Microsoft Cybersecurity analyst, and, at the same time use the Security + as a self study (again everything in Comptia is very theorical no hands on labs) to create the foundations. After this goals do the Cybersecurity roadmap in Try Hack Me and in StationX, very pratical. What is your advice? Thank you for your attention. Best Regards, Ricardo.

Regarding your comment about the Security+, I highly recommend reviewing the exam objectives because several tools are included. That means if you aren't getting hands-on experience with those certifications or tools, that's a result of either a failure of the training provider you're using and/or you are ignoring the exam objectives.

So if you don’t have any type of knowledge about cybersecurity but interested in learning, where would you recommend starting?

@JonGoodCyber 9 месяцев назад

The best place to start is grabbing my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) where I provide a lot of information including a roadmap of skills and certifications to pursue.

@juliovazquez3698 9 месяцев назад

This course isnt of any value in the job market but it’ll definitely help you test the water before diving into it.

@JonGoodCyber 10 месяцев назад

Honestly, there are better methods that are either free (i.e., RU-vid) or very low-cost (Udemy) if you want to test the waters without spending much time. Somebody starting out will likely take a few months or more to work through this program and not get much in return. That's $100 that you can definitely spend more wisely.

@GameronLeave 10 месяцев назад

@@JonGoodCyber Well the problem is that those who are new to IT wouldn't know what to search and where to search. The Google cybersec course provides all the info and materials needed, in a single course. Its free actually if you apply for financial Aid. Tbh i have never payed for a single course on coursera.

Is it ok to take this course just for a label to put in my resume and then gather more info through other sources?

@JonGoodCyber 8 месяцев назад

Taking this program isn't going to hurt your resume, it's just not the most efficient or effective path to take. I always recommend grabbing my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) where I provide a roadmap of skills and certifications to pursue.

Great video! I’m currently starting out with Microsoft’s cybersecurity course. It sounds very similar to Google’s course but with an emphasis on Azure and Windows. In the video you mentioned how Google focused on Linux instead of Windows. Does Microsoft’s course holds more value than Google’s because of it?

@JonGoodCyber 6 месяцев назад

I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Are you talking about Microsoft courses on Coursera or something else? If so, the value might be slightly higher but the main fact is that Coursera itself isn't in high-demand by employers. There are well established credentials/certifications in the industry and Coursera isn't on that list so it really depends on what your goal is by doing the course. That said, knowledge is rarely a bad thing as long as you have the proper expectations.

@adamp.8571 6 месяцев назад

@@JonGoodCyber Yes, the Coursera one. I’m treating the Microsoft course as a building block towards towards Sec+ and getting a cloud cert. I have no expectations as far as landing a job once I finish the Microsoft cert. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Where can I get an Introduction to sql if this is so terrible. Time wise I agree but not for the skills it offers

@JonGoodCyber 8 месяцев назад

I never said the SQL information was "terrible" as you put it. The bigger issue is where you'll focus and the prioritization of skills and knowledge given the audience of the program. SQL has been around for nearly 50 years so there's a ton of information out there to learn it. A good place to start is W3Schools ( www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp ).

@Shannon_Robbie 29 дней назад

What online course/program do you recommend for beginners wanting to get into Cybersecurity?

@JonGoodCyber 29 дней назад

I always recommend visiting my Getting Started page ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) to begin your journey and to use Cyber Training Pro ( www.cybertrainingpro.com/ ) as a training provider. Additionally, an important thing to understand is that cybersecurity knowledge isn't something you jump directly to, but instead build up into. The reasoning is that if you don't understand how technology works, you won't understand what needs to be secured or how it needs to be secured. The resources that I've provided will get you to where you need to be so that you can have the start of a successful career.

@doma.7859 5 месяцев назад

Hey Jon, I stumbled onto your channel as I’m trying to get validation for this course as I’m currently taking it. I’m about finishing up course 2 and after watching your video I’m kind of second guessing on finishing off this program. Q: what is the preferred route to take for learning/studying? I was thinking of picking up a compTia network and security + at my local bookstore & learning from there. I’m taking the google course only cause I’m new to the IT field and don’t know too much terms and how everything works but I’m willing to put in the time and effort to learn it. Also google cert helps prepare for the compTia sec+ exam all the more reasons I am taking this course. Much mahalos, Dom

@DroptheBass9815 Месяц назад

Thank you for the honest review! As someone who is new to the Cybersecurity field (I’m currently 3 courses deep into the Google Cert) I saw this very as a good way to get discounted access to the CompTIA Security + cert. In your opinion, does it seem worth it to complete the course or is that the sunk cost fallacy talking?

@JonGoodCyber Месяц назад

You're very welcome! I recommend grabbing my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) and checking out the included roadmap. Unfortunately, even if you achieved the Security+, you would still have gaps in your knowledge and will have to take steps backwards to resolve those deficiencies. The choice is ultimately yours and I understand if you want the discount, but at least you'll be aware of what's expected by employers and what you'll have to do to be ready.

@JonGoodCyber Месяц назад

This is just like any other subscription fee where if you don't pay, you won't have access.

@BennyBoi_07 7 месяцев назад

So is it not free? Google is advertising to sign up free... do they just hide the cost until after?

@JonGoodCyber 7 месяцев назад

There is technically no cost to sign up and get the free trial but once that ends, you'll be required to pay. Google really does try to make it seem like it's free but that's just a marketing tactic to get you to feel invested in the program. Once you start signing up, you'll see more information about the cost.

What annoys me is that some people who have zero knowledge in IT and cybersecurity, want to land a job within 3 to 6 months, most even don't bother working in the technical skills related to the cybersecurity path they want to pursue.

@JonGoodCyber Месяц назад

I don't blame the individuals for that, and is instead a result of so many "influencers" and marketing efforts setting unrealistic/false expectations. In fact, I get a ton of viewers and community members that find my content after listening to so much of the bad advice out there wishing they would have found me sooner.

@mfishaa3503 5 месяцев назад

I mean, if you finish in four days you didn’t actually go through the course you just skipped through all the lessons and videos, and then took the tests. How would you know if it’s a good course or not?

Do you have a take on the Microsoft version?

@JonGoodCyber 3 месяца назад

It's very focused on Microsoft offerings, which, in many cases, might be more realistic. That said, you don't get as wide of exposure, so there are pros and cons to that. From an employer demand standpoint, the Microsoft version is also not in high demand.
