So Google Just Released a Cybersecurity Certificate... Here's What To Expect 

Agreed, it is a great entry level certificate for beginners!

Funny how you said you thought you'd never touch SQL. I was in the same boat, so I always put off learning it. I recently started as a SOC Analyst and today I pretty much spent the whole day reviewing Database Activity Monitoring logs. Some dedicated SQL experience would've really helped.

I only get my cyber news from Mr. Collins 💪🏼👏🏼

First intro to your channel, subscribed! Thanks for the info!

great information

If you have no job this wont take 6 months. Im doing one module a day roughly sometimes less but usually I get one done with all the exams completed. I should be able to finish everything in 1.5 months. Currently on the 6th ccourse.

I just finished the certification! This was a great review of it

Great content man. I am now more fired up in finishing Google's Cybersecurity Certificate Program. Thanks for the insights 🔥

I have ten years of IT experience. I took the trial to see if it could be finished faster than they claim. I ended up finishing it in four days. I did everything in the cert except for the portfolio assignments (mainly because I didn't see what they wanted me to do for the portfolio to be of particular value). I didn't finish one of the Linux labs because it was very exact in how it wanted me to do something I did faster in a different way. The discount on sec+ is nice. The resources at the end are ok. The job board is nice. The AI interview tools are fine. The cert definitely doesn't prepare you for sec+ in any way at all. I personally feel that the Google cert is better than sec+ in every single way. It has you using the tools that you'll actually use and doing things you'd actually do in an entry level position. Unfortunately, I don't think HR is ready to give up sec+ as the "bare minimum" for looking at a SIEM and responding.

Great content as always Grant!

The beard is looking great my guy! 👏🏼

Great content 👌

I hope you will post another video after you complete the course 😊

Nice Grant :D

i like how honest and frank you're with cybersecurity. People think getting a security Analyst job is easy just by getting a certificate. :) lol

Thanks Bro..🙂

Please make a video for bluebugging,thanks in advance

Thank you! In your honest opinionen, how long would you estimate it will take for a beginner to get to a level where he can apply for a job (assuming you're just a regular learner)? And in your experience, does companies even hire people without a university degree in this field ? I hate my current career and is getting hooked on cybersecurity, but I honestly can't wait 4-5 years until i'm job ready! would this google certificate be the one you would recommend if you were to start over ? sorry for all the questions haha

What are your thoughts on CS bootcamps? Also, you mentioned this google cert won’t get you hired for sure but how is it compared to boot camp program certs ? I’m on the verge of committing $16,000 for a bootcamp but this video totally interrupted what I thought I wanted. any help is appreciated

I want an all rounder laptop where i will be able to explore all parts of development (Android , software, ai ml), cybersecurity. Also 3d modeling software like Blender. I've never done gaming before but can consider it. Please recommend a few laptops under INR 70k. If cheaper great, I won't have to burn holes in my wallet. I've considered these few laptops, if there are other good options please feel free to recommend : g15 5520 Acer Nitro 5 hp victus Lenovo IdeaPad gaming 3 asus vivobook 16x All but some are i5 -12500/12450 H , 16gb , rtx 3050/2050 around similar pricing on Amazon.

You mentioned how the course is good for studying the Security+, but after completion, would it be fine to take the exam immediately or should you find some outside sources beforehand?

Does it matter if you don’t have any experience in coding or programming?

Hi, i'm curently a student in Mathematics and computer science in France, i move to Montreal next year and i'm going to start the google certification, i was wondering if you think it's possible to do some contracts like web threat analysis or some audits of website small contrat for small compagny to build some money, skills, practical etc with the study appart of the ''free lance pentest/ audit thing ?" and when i know i have enought knowledge to start ? bc i learn from lot of website try hack me, root me etc but i still don't know if it's enought to do some audit or pentest ? What do you think ?

Is there a lot of difference between this certification and the introduction to cybersecurity by NYU in coursera?

Would being familiar with programming languages be helpful prior to signing up for this course?

Will it be helpful to learn Linux? And while you don't guarantee a job, what does the associated private job board for these certificates look like? And what about the Google Cloud Certifications? Does Coursera cover those as well?

What do you think about the hack the box certificates?

Now if only Google would apply some best practices towards their SEO and their play store.

Google cybersecurity vs the new Cisco CCST cybersecurity. Which one do you think is more valuable? I'm really trying to debate between the two.

Let's be honest, the HR department often lacks awareness about Security Plus. Typically, it's the hiring manager who informs HR about it. Personally, I've taken a course that surpasses Security Plus in terms of quality. While it may be slightly generic, it's truly fantastic. I was able to complete it within a few weeks since I already had prior knowledge, and I managed to learn a few new things as well. Overall, it's a great certification. I believe it will gain traction over time, and perhaps Google will develop a more advanced version in the future. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Security Plus because it doesn't provide significant value and it covers only the basics. Moreover, I tend to avoid vendor certifications because they require renewal every few years, which I consider a waste of time and money. Instead, I prioritize learning materials

That certificate is only given for passing both the course and the certification.

Hello sir , I am beginners in cybersecurity. I am confused in choosing books . Can you please suggest me books for intermediate to advance level? I am unable to make powerful viruses. How can I improve it? I want to understand the programs more deeply for cracking. Can please suggest me the important mathematics topic required to understand program and algorithm deeply.

Im a Brazilian Security Analyst with 2 years experience, more focused in compliance. plus 9 years of experience in IT support, sys admin, infraestructure... I have ISO 27001, Exin, Ccna, Azure, certifications... I want to work at usa do i have any chance? Give some advice please.

can i start bug bounty after this course

I've always wondered, and maybe I just haven't seen your take on this, but why is Cybersecurity such a difficult field to get into, despite always hearing about how many job openings exist and how there aren't enough butts in seats, so to speak. I'm not necessarily even an outsider looking, I've been hired as a SOC Analyst myself. I genuinely don't understand where these barriers to entry exist and why. Are HR managers just honestly being that picky over trivial things, because a level 1 SOC Analyst position isn't OVERLY technical when compared to positions like a network engineering or Sys Admin role, so I don't see why your average IT help desk / college intern COULDN'T get hired, even though apparently they dont. I know this is kind of off topic from the video itself, but it's something you mention and hopefully I can get some clarification on what you meant.

👍

I type my input correctly in the Internet on my android phone, however, my text ends up with spelling mistakes which I didn't make. What kind of hacking is that? How can I remove this hacking from my phone?

Is this good for beginners or will it be too complicated for newbs

They have all the instructional videos on RU-vid; in case you don't want to sign up on Coursera.

What would be another good certificate to add to your skills after completing Google cyber security certificate?

If I have security+ is this something I should take as well or work toward CISSP?

Is this something that someone that has absolutely zero knowledge or experience with the industry to get into?

routers servers devices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shout out hehe

HeyGrant! I'm from Argentina and I would like to take the course. I am a student and the economy in my family is not good, so it is difficult for me to pay for the course in dollars. Do you know how I can get a discount or access it for free? Can you show me?

When you add up all the courses you get a total of 163 HRS of content.

Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
