CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CYSA+)

 

Course Overview

This course teaches you the knowledge and skills required to perform a host of tasks related to securing and protecting applications and systems within an organisation.

Our experienced instructors will teach you to configure threat detection tools, perform data analysis and interpret the results to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks to an organisation.

Cyber security analytics vastly improves your threat visibility by focusing on network behaviour, including an organisation’s interior network. These threats are better detected through analytics.

Who should attend

This course is aimed at cyber security professionals with at least two to three years of on-the-job experience.

Prerequisites

Prior to attending the CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+), you are expected to have:

  • The Network+ or Security+ certification - or equivalent knowledge
  • A minimum of 4 years of hands-on information security or related experience

Course Objectives

On this accelerated CySA+ course you will focus on the following four cyber security domains:

  • Threat Management
  • Vulnerability Management
  • Cyber Incident Response
  • Security Architecture and Tool Sets

The training incorporates hands-on practical work in the form of virtual labs and software tools. This approach will accelerate your learning and will help retain your new found knowledge.
