Course 2 overview

Hello and welcome to Strategies for Cloud Security Risk Management, the second course in
the Google Cloud Cybersecurity Certificate!

In this course, you’ll develop a greater understanding of the most widely used cloud risk
management frameworks. You’ll also explore security domains, the compliance lifecycle, and
regulations and industry standards that cloud security analysts follow on the job. Then, you’ll
learn how to identify and reduce risks, evaluate compliance while managing data protection
and privacy, and compare and adopt frameworks. You’ll also learn about Google Cloud and
multi-cloud tools for risk and compliance management.

Course 2 content

Each course in this certificate program is broken into modules. You can complete courses at
your own pace, but the module breakdowns are designed to help you finish the entire Google
Cloud Cybersecurity Certificate in about 3-6 months if you complete about 1-2 modules per
week.

What’s to come? Here’s a quick overview of the skills you’ll learn in each module of this course.

Module 1: Introduction to frameworks within security domains

In this module, you’ll learn about security domains, compliance frameworks, data privacy
fundamentals, risk, and security controls. You’ll also explore the differences between security
and compliance. Then you’ll learn how to define and explain controls and frameworks, and the
three areas of compliance: people, process and technology. You’ll also explore risk and security
controls, and how security controls are implemented.

Module 2: Risk management and security frameworks, regulations, and standards

In this module, you’ll learn how traditional networking concepts translate to the cloud. Then,
you’ll learn about security controls used to secure cloud networks, and how controls can be
combined to create defense in depth. Finally, you’ll explore how cloud service providers and
customers work together to secure cloud resources, including using identity and access
management (IAM) policies.

Module 3: The compliance lifecycle

In this module, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of the compliance lifecycle. Then, you’ll
learn about controls and control mapping, assessments and auditing, regulatory requirements,
negative organizational impacts of non-compliance, and Policy-as-Code (PaC) in
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).

Module 4: Cloud tools for risk management and compliance

In this module, you’ll explore Google and multi-cloud cloud security posture management
tools. Then, you’ll learn to use Security Command Center, Risk Manager, and Policy Analyzer to
secure cloud resources. You’ll also use risk protection programs and organizational policies for
compliance and risk mitigation.

What to expect

Each course offers many types of learning opportunities:

● V​ideos led by Google instructors teach new concepts, introduce the use of relevant
tools, offer career support, and provide inspirational personal stories.
● Readings build on the topics discussed in the videos, introduce related concepts, share
useful resources, and describe case studies.
● Activities and labs give you practice in applying the skills you’re learning and allow you
to assess your own work by comparing it to a completed example.
● Glossaries provide a list of key terms for you to review to prepare for quizzes.
● Practice quizzes allow you to check your understanding of key concepts, and provide
you with valuable feedback.
● Graded quizzes allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the main concepts of
a course. You must score 80% or higher on each graded quiz to obtain a certificate. You
can take a graded quiz multiple times to achieve a passing score.

Note: Some learning item types may not be included in every course.

Tips for success

● It’s strongly recommended that you go through the items in each lesson in the order
they appear because new information and concepts build on previous knowledge.
● Participate in all learning opportunities to gain as much knowledge and experience as
possible.
● If something is confusing, don’t hesitate to replay a video, review a reading, or repeat an
activity.
● W​hen you encounter useful links in this course, bookmark them so you can refer to the
information later for study or review.
