I am thrilled to give the Google Professional Cyber Security Course a resounding highest rating. The meticulous attention to detail in the 'Sound the Alarm: Detection and Response' module equipped me with invaluable skills in incident containment, packet analysis, and utilizing SIEM tools effectively. The course's comprehensive approach and hands-on learning experiences exceeded my expectations, making it an indispensable resource for anyone serious about cyber security. Highly recommended for whom, who want to be expert in IT and Cyber Security career!

This course, as in the others in this specialization, presents a very good outline of the subject matter. The quizzes and activities can be completed using the information given within the course. That information is organized well and is well and clearly presented. However, it is important to take the reading assignments seriously. This course is a start. It sets the learner on a path. To get the full value of the course, the learner will need to go beyond the material within the course and follow up on the references cited in the reading assignments.

Course 6 of the Google Cybersecurity specialisation was a good introduction to

-the incident response lifecycle/operations/tools

-packet capture/PCAP, with a practical pcap analysis exercise using tcpdump

-process documentation vs cybersecurity (response) playbook

-triage process

-log collection, with demos for Splunk and Google Chronicle SIEM tools

-demo for Suricate intrusion detection system

A tougher course compared to the previous ones, but a thoroughly challenging and intriguing one. You'll learn a lot of different tools, like Suricata, Chronicle, Splunk, Wireshark, tcpdump etc. You'll also learn how to read and produce effective documentation for depending on your audience; an incident report for the CEO will be different from a report for security teams.

This course is really good and totally worth your time. My knowledge of incident response and detection has been shaped and improved. The delivery of the subject matter is accommodating in its easiness to understand. The videos are super easy to understand as are the reading sections. The tests too serve to solidify your understanding.

This course is amazing, so much information and practice available. One suggestion I would give is the Splunk and Chronicle lab could've had more than 1 example to make me feel a bit more confident, as I felt still slightly unconfident using those technologies. But hey, we all need to start somewhere and this was a great introduction!

This was a good overview course, and I understood that there is still much to learn and more in-depth work. The labs were helpful here to give us a taste of what it is like to use the Chronicle and Splunk tools. The course definitely helped me better understand use of these tools and how they fit in overall into cybersecurity work.

This is one of the best training I have ever had. I've been taking courses from other schools and paid thousands of dollars, but the Google cybersecurity professional training course is the best training I have had. I am delighted. After this excellent training, I hope to get a Job replacement or an entry-level from Google.

Dave is a wonderful teacher. There is so much content in this course. The labs are important to practice the skills described in the videos and the reading. The additional resources are interesting and involved. It takes a lot of time to read so much new material and to practice the labs. It is a worthwhile experience.

The main instructor and visitors inspire me to learn and work in cyber security field. Besides that, the lectures are delivered in cleared and concise way. The lab are designed well to help me review and practice what I learned in the lectures.

Course was fun as it was explained better and it was explained deep the topic which was cover earlier and there were lab practice too with the tools and more.So it was fun and learn couple of new stuff and some which I know in details.

It all starts out a little hard to understand especially if you have no previous knowledge but because the lessons are thorough and at your own pace it really becomes a lot easier to understand towards the end of the lesson.

Great course! So far the most hands-on approach which I like. I was introduced to many tools that will be used throught my future career as a security professional. Thanks to Google and Coursera for this quality content!

A great course indeed. Keep up the good work you are doing. People like myself ,who were marginalized from the tech industry through lack of knowledge, now have access to the best resources.

I am loving it.

This has been exciting learning platform the course has helped me improve my learning the cyber threats and the analysis of the logs. I look forward to applying them in the real work environment,

Very Informative and now i am certain i want to do this type of work. I want to protect everyone's data and privacy. Hopefully automated so we dont have to manually go through confidential data.

This was an excellent course. One recommendation that I would offer is to add additional tutorials/instruction on how to use the tools with additional exercises.

I learned a lot about SIEM Tool, NIST framework, OSINT ( Open source inteligence) , Network protocol analyzers and it was fantastic. I definitely recommend it.

Learnt a lot about SIEM tools and much more that are all ready to be applied in the job. Thanks a lot to Google and Coursera for such a wonderful session.

The course contents are addressed in a clear and concise manner, the instructors show that they have sufficient experience in the field of study taught.

even with only 4 module. there are a lot of information. luckily if start from IT support course, most are pretty easy to understand and absorb.

I’ve learned a lot on this course especially on packet capture and how to document a security incident. An outstanding course overall. 

I studied a lot during this course. For me from 0 it was an amazing journey until underestand and Use SEIM tools :) Thank you :)

Definitely a must do for understanding the IDS fundamentals and get first hand exp with tools like Splunk and Google Chronicles

Instructor pace and tone is good, he is an effective communicator who is able to translate Incident Response concepts clearly.
