Course Description

CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) is an international, vendor-neutral cybersecurity certification that applies behavioral analytics to improve the overall state of IT security. CySA+ validates critical knowledge and skills that are required to prevent, detect and combat cybersecurity threats.

As attackers have learned to evade traditional signature-based solutions such as firewalls, an analytics-based approach within the IT security industry is increasingly important for most organizations. The behavioral analytics skills covered by CySA+ identify and combat malware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs), resulting in enhanced threat visibility across a broad attack surface.

Learning Objectives

CompTIA CySA+ is for IT professionals looking to gain the following security analyst skills:
• Configure and use threat detection tools.
• Perform data analysis.
• Interpret the results to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks to an organization.
