The Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate Cohort Program is a nine-course series that was developed to provide an understanding of the importance of cybersecurity practices and their impact on organizations. Learners will identify common risks, threats, and vulnerabilities, as well as techniques to mitigate them. Hands-on experience with Python, Linux, and SQL is also included in the module. The courses are beginner-level and do not require any prior experience in cybersecurity. Though members can move at their own pace, the program includes WiCyS Technical Mentors that will provide support with the coursework to help learners successfully earn their certificate in less than 6 months.
