Cybersecurity is defined as the protection of data, systems, and networks from deliberate or accidental misuse. Cybersecurity involves the protection of our data, which is our primary asset. We must also defend the systems that perform the storage and processing as well as the networks over which information flows.

An understanding of cybersecurity concepts is increasingly significant in today’s highly connected world.

The Google Cybersecurity Action Team, “GCAT” is the world’s premier security advisory team with the mission of supporting the security and digital transformation of governments, critical infrastructure, enterprises, and small businesses. We guide customers through the cycle of security transformation—from your first transformation roadmap and implementation through increasing your cyber-resilience preparedness for potential events and incidents and engineering new solutions as your requirements change.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
