About the Course

This is the sixth course in the Google Cybersecurity Certificate. Learners will focus on incident detection and response. They will learn what defines a security incident and explain the incident response lifecycle, including the roles and responsibilities of incident response teams. Learners will analyze and interpret network communications to detect security incidents using packet sniffing tools to capture network traffic. By assessing and analyzing artifacts, learners will explore the incident investigation and response processes and procedures. Additionally, they will develop a conceptual overview of log data and their role in intrusion detection systems (IDS) and Security Information Event Management (SIEM) tools. 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 lifecycle of an incident. - Describe the tools used in documentation, detection, and management of incidents. - Analyze packets to interpret network communications. - Perform artifact investigations to analyze and verify security incidents. - Identify the steps to contain, eradicate, and recover from an incident. - Determine how to read and analyze logs during incident investigation. - Interpret the basic syntax and components of signatures and logs in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) tools. - Perform queries in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools to investigate an event....

I loved this coursed and learned so much. The only thing I would have liked to see is if the all of the SIEM tools were integrated into a lab like many of the other labs are directly in the courses.

I think this Course went through some changes but the content is not entirely adapted (Splunk, Wazuh) so it's confusing. It was the weakest course in the series as it was all over the place and jumped from one topic to another somewhat randomly. The Wazuh activity was not good, as it took too much time and in the end the instructions were not sufficient to complete it. The permissions did not allow loading the data from the files in the folder on the host. Maybe I could figure it out on my own, but it was way too much work for such a short activity already... This needs to be either improved or replaced with something more appropriate.
