Certificate Level: Mid-level
Difficulty: Medium
To whom this course: Entry-level analystsSecurity analystsIncident response teams

In this video, I reviewed one of the most valuable and well-established certificates in cybersecurity. The specialization consists of 7 courses and one capstone as follow:

Introduction to Cybersecurity Tools & Cyber Attacks

Cybersecurity Roles, Processes & Operating System Security

Cybersecurity Compliance Framework & System Administration

Network Security & Database Vulnerabilities

Penetration Testing, Incident Response and Forensics

Cyber Threat Intelligence

Cybersecurity Capstone: Breach Response Case Studies

IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Assessment

In order to obtain the professional certificate you need to pass all the courses and of course, pass the final assessment.

Now one word about the final assessment. It’s not like the rest of the assessments you see on Coursera because:

1- It doesn’t show the feedback about the right and wrong answers

2- The assessment is long and contains 70 questions.

3- The questions cover everything and are detailed and tricky. Make sure you study everything thoroughly

4- The grader shows the highest grade you achieved if you do the test more than one time so don’t be duped that the test is rigged or bugged.

Most likely you will do the assessment more than once to pass as I did 🙂
