Introduction to Cloud Identity is an accelerated, one-week course designed to provide new Cloud Identity, Identity/Access Management/Mobile Device Management admins with the skills they need to get started. Through a series of introductory lessons, step-by-step hands-on exercises, Google knowledge resources, and knowledge checks, learners will gain the confidence to utilize the basic functions of the Admin Console to manage users, control access to services, configure common security settings, and much more.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to establish a Cloud Identity domain, add users, modify user permissions, add mobile devices, modify mobile management policy sets, navigate the Reports module, and apply different security protocols to the domain.
Before enrolling, participants should be prepared to sign up for a free 14 day trial of Cloud Identity and purchase a new domain or use one that they already own. The domain used is not included as part of the Cloud Identity trial.
[Applications]
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to apply their knowledge of Cloud Identity to their organization or personal domain. They should be able to add users, modify user permissions, add mobile devices, modify mobile management policy sets, navigate the Reports module, and apply different security protocols to the domain. Additionally, participants should be familiar with the process of signing up for a free 14 day trial of Cloud Identity and how to cancel their account if they wish to end their Cloud Identity instance at the end of training.
[Career Path]
Job Position Path:Cloud Identity Administrator
Description:A Cloud Identity Administrator is responsible for managing and establishing security and access management best practices for their organization. They are responsible for setting up and managing user accounts, controlling access to services, configuring security settings, and more. They must be knowledgeable in the use of the Admin Console and be able to navigate the Reports module and run reports.
Development Trend:The demand for Cloud Identity Administrators is expected to grow as more organizations move to cloud-based solutions. As cloud technology continues to evolve, Cloud Identity Administrators will need to stay up to date on the latest trends and technologies in order to ensure their organization’s security and access management best practices are up to date. Additionally, as more organizations move to mobile-first solutions, Cloud Identity Administrators will need to be knowledgeable in the use of the Google Mobile Management module and be able to modify mobile management policy sets.
[Education Path]
The recommended educational path for learners interested in Google's machine learning is to pursue a degree in computer science or a related field. This degree should include courses in machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, and software engineering. Additionally, learners should become familiar with the Google Cloud Platform and its various tools, such as Vertex AI, TensorFlow, SciKit Learn, Pytorch, and R.
The development trend for machine learning is to focus on automation and scalability. Automation is becoming increasingly important as machine learning models become more complex and require more data. Scalability is also important as machine learning models must be able to handle large datasets and be able to process them quickly. Additionally, machine learning models must be able to adapt to changing data and be able to learn from new data. Finally, machine learning models must be able to recognize and mitigate biases that may be present in the data.
