DescriptionAbout this Learning Opportunity

The CompTIA CySA certification course provides intermediate-level skills and knowledge to defend against cyber threats through incident detection and response. In this cybersecurity analyst certification course, you will learn best practices in threat management, security architecture, vulnerability management, and cyber-incident response. During the security operations module, you will obtain an understanding of system and network architecture concepts as they relate to security operations. You will also learn to analyze indicators of potentially malicious activity in network, host, and application-related scenarios. Additionally, you will be equipped with the skills to use appropriate tools or techniques to determine malicious activity and compare threat-intelligence and threat-hunting concepts. In the vulnerability management section of your training, gain knowledge of vulnerability scanning methods and concepts, understand different operating environments and industry frameworks for vulnerability scanning, and analyze output from different vulnerability assessment tools. You will also understand how to prioritize vulnerability management and remediation, as well as recommend controls to mitigate different attacks and software vulnerabilities. The incident response and management module will cover concepts related to different attack methodology frameworks, incident response activities, including containment, eradication, and recovery, and post-incident activity phases of the incident management life cycle. Finally, in the reporting and communication component of this cybersecurity analyst course, compare important components of different types of reports and understand how to effectively communicate with stakeholders. You will also interpret metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs). Upon completion of this course, you will be prepared to take the CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) certification exam. You will receive an exam voucher for the CompTIA CySA+ certification exam, which covers the cost to sit for the certifying exams upon eligibility. Proctor fees may apply, which are not included.
