About the Course

This is the fourth course in the Google Cybersecurity Certificate. These courses will equip you with the skills you need to apply for an entry-level cybersecurity job. You’ll build on your understanding of the topics that were introduced in the third Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. In this course, you will explore computing skills that you’ll use on-the-job as a cybersecurity analyst. First, you'll practice using Linux, an operating system commonly used by cybersecurity professionals. For example, you'll use the Linux command line through the Bash shell to navigate and manage the file system and authenticate users. Then, you'll use SQL to communicate with a database. Google employees who currently work in cybersecurity will guide you through videos, provide hands-on activities and examples that simulate common cybersecurity tasks, and help you build your skills to prepare for jobs. Learners who complete this certificate will be equipped to apply for entry-level cybersecurity roles. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will: - Explain the relationship between operating systems, applications, and hardware. - Compare a graphical user interface to a command line interface. - Identify the unique features of common Linux distributions. - Navigate and manage the file system using Linux commands via the Bash shell. - Use Linux commands via the Bash shell to authenticate and authorize users. - Describe how a relational database is organized. - Use SQL to retrieve information from a database. - Apply filters to SQL queries and use joins to combine multiple tables....

Learning Linux and SQL is quite challenging but with clear explanation and examples given makes the course easier to understand specially for me without any background on IT or cyber security.

The coverage of Linux and SQL are too basic. The content of this course could have been presented in a few pages.

I really disliked the instructor for this course. For the amount of knowledge and heavy, and I mean HEAVY, course load of leaning something as complex as SQL- this instructor did a horrible job compared to the other courses. I had a 4.9 gpa in college and I equated this to ONE course I couldn't pass due to the instructor (the course had a 36% pass rate which included people taking it for the second time). Instructors or Teachers matter, and had there been a better teacher I might've had an easier time completing this course. Granted, I completed it in 4 days with an 80-something%, my normal is 9something% in about 2 days. This instructor did not explain the information effectively. Also, for something as complex as this, once you PASS a test - there should be an explanation on a question you got wrong. For my final test I had to take it 4 times, and still got the exact question wrong every time even when I passed. I have no idea how to learn from my mistake.

Doesn't say when things and case-sensitive and when they are tells you that you got something wrong but not what you got wrong. The labs have issues with them so when you input something right it tells you that you did it wrong even though when you go into the review and check how it wants you to put in the commands is the same as what you entered. Haven't had a problem with the overall coarse until now.

the linux system keeps logging me out and makes it difficult for me to log back in by giving me this error "Oops! Something went wrong. This page encountered an error. If the problem persists: Refresh the page. Try again later. Contact Coursera Support."

This class really held me up as the quizes asked for extremely specific command lines and syntax when even the instructor in the video admits that it would be extremely difficult for a beginner to memorize said syntax and command lines

The instructor is pretty bad, looks like the person is AI generated, very hard to engage with the materials..

The spectrum of Linux and SQL is way to massive to learn in a 3 hour course. Test were difficult as well.
