About the Course

This is the seventh 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 sixth Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. In this course, you will be introduced to the Python programming language and apply it in a cybersecurity setting to automate tasks. You'll start by focusing on foundational Python programming concepts, including data types, variables, conditional statements, and iterative statements. You'll also learn to work with Python effectively by developing functions, using libraries and modules, and making your code readable. In addition, you'll work with string and list data, and learn how to import, parse and debug files. 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 how the Python programming language is used in cybersecurity. - Write conditional and iterative statements in Python. - Create new, user-defined Python functions. - Use Python to work with strings and lists. - Use regular expressions to extract information from text. - Use Python to open and read the contents of a file. - Identify best practices to improve code readability. - Practice debugging code....

Outstanding content! Helped me immensely to refresh my knowledge of python and add to it. Plenty of hands-on labs and exercises. Great instructor. I thank Google and Coursera for this quality content.

Great high level introduction to cybersecurity, but the industry does not recognize this certificate in any meaningful way and it has been nearly impossible to find a job.

This was teh hardest part of the course for me - I think better documentation in key parts of this course would be beneficial - as well as providing more examples.

It should have the answer right after each task. This course is confusing in Module 4. After Module, I feel lost truly.

2 stars for efforts but I don't think it was a good idea to show basics of Python like how to print strings and what is an if statement... to people who take automation of cybersecurity tasks using python... Big portion of this class is a basic programming class, Task 1: how to print and what do you see... Task 2: You can also add comments.. .What do you see when you run a comment... Task 3: Write the comment to say `# This cell displays "I am using Python."`. Be sure to replace the `# YOUR COMMENT HERE` with your own comment before running the following cell. I think they were too lazy to put relevant content... it was too boring. Is it really what google offer?

It was difficult to understand the presenter at times. Also, the material is much, much harder than any of the other courses. It starts easy but builds much too quickly without giving a chance to solidify fundamentals. Newcomers will without a doubt be overwhelmed and unable to progress.

Need a different proctor. The one lecturing in the videos of this course is VERY hard to understand and the onscreen graphics are very lacking. I made it through, but will surely neeed to take another Python course to feel more confident.

I'm facing some technical issues in regards to Taking my course assessment. The options to the questions are not given in most cases only one option will be given and if it's the wrong answer I will still fail the assessment. Please I need help Thanks

with a tutor, it would be a lot easier to understand it better but it wasn't easy and it will take me a little more practice.
