I got my Sec+ this year and got a role as an application security analyst and I’ve been doing the Google cybersecurity course as a refresher & I really like how they have you do projects. I will say I think Microsoft’s security course has an edge because it gives you experience with their products which is a great way to market yourself I think

The Google course was great for an overview and I’m glad I completed it. This should only incentivise you to apply more in the tools it teaches you. After finishing my Sec+ and CCNA, I plan to continue in my study for PCEP, Splunk and LPIC-1 certs.

I took the IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Certificate during my internship and while it did cover a good amount of concepts, I didn't really understand how to apply those concepts until I dived deeper by doing practical projects such as scanning and enumeration of ports as part of a penetration testing exercise.

I took the Microsoft course and currently taking the google course, Microsoft is basically teaching you about MICROSOFT products onlyy nothing else, it also teaches you more about how to be an IT guy like managing the AD of an organization. Whereas the google course teaches you about security and stuff you will actually use. Not saying you won't use microsoft products but at least it doesn't focus only on 1 set of products and make it look like the god of tools

I got the google cybersecurity certificate a while ago thanks to u! I watched your video about it and i just went for it. I finished it in 2 weeks but it can be done in 1 week.

Do all 3 if you can...the more you know the better...but it would be best to do Google's and Microsoft's because they give you discounted vouchers for the certification that is associated with the certificates...plus if you sign up to coursera plus, both the Google and Microsoft certificates are included, where you will have to pay extra for the IBM one. Cloud Security is a good niche to drill down to in cyber...especially since a lot of corporations use Microsoft products and can lead you to a very lucrative cyber security career later on.
As a matter of fact I think all the Google and Microsoft certificates are included in coursera plus...So you could take the Google Cyber with the Google Cloud Security Engineer or the Microsoft Cyber with the Microsoft Azure Security Engineer (these two actually come with 50% off vouchers and are a good follow up to one another). In the end the important thing is to pick one and go with it. :)

I have all 3…they’re all basically the same but I enjoyed the Google cert much more than the others.

This channel is by far the most entertaining and most informative in the cybersecurity world currently. Not just another tutorial continuing the endless loop of tutorial hell out there.

Now I kinda wanna run the Google Cybersecurity course just for science reasons. Thanks for the upload amigo.

Almost done with the Google course. Some things were pretty easy for me since I have the SEC+, however depending on your experince it can still teach you new things. I had never done SQL or python before, nor did I have exposure to Chronicicle or Splunk. So it was great to get learn new skills. I had to analyze a hashed file on virus total and write up an intial report. I documented security events along the way, and have a little portfolio going that I can link to on a resume. If you can get good with SQL and python, I can see those skills becoming VERY usefull.

I completed the google cyber security course and i have to say it was quiet fun and interactive with the flip cards and ungraded plugins and also the labs. I am currently doing the ibm certificate as well but it isint that engaging as thw google one for sure

I just finished my Google cybersecurity cert yesterday. I felt it was well worth the money.

[victorbegnini]

Pretty straightforward and objective video....And that's what I like, man! Thanks for that!🎉

[rpstardustx]

Yes finally i have been waiting for this video 🔥

[SavageScientist]

I used to work at IBM and lol i agree the material is out dated, even in 2020.

[Michichi]

Literally binging your channel and wanted to know which of these three you'd recommend amazing upload time for me 😂

[CyberJoe]

Mad Hat, where did you learn the most, at work or at school?

[davidbachtel]

I know you're busy (hear baby in background ) but your videos are sooo good, please make more

[deepakc]

Hello Mad Hat… I am a Mechanical Engineer and thinking to shift to Cybersecurity. And after doing my initial studies. I am planning to take two certifications courses before applying for a job as a SOC Analyst. First I want to take Google Certification and then doing BTL1 certification.

Kindly please provide me your review and inputs if I am going in the right direction

I should start a cyber channel, coursera giving sponerships away like candy recently
