CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+)
This course covers the duties of cybersecurity analysts who are responsible for monitoring and detecting security incidents in information systems and networks, and for executing a proper response to such incidents. Depending on the size of the organization, this individual may act alone or may be a member of a cybersecurity incident response team (CSIRT). The course introduces tools and tactics to manage cybersecurity risks, identify various types of common threats, evaluate the organization’s security, collect and analyze cybersecurity intelligence, and handle incidents as they occur. Ultimately, the course promotes a comprehensive approach to security aimed toward those on the front lines of defence.
This course is designed to assist students in preparing for the CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) (Exam CS0-001) certification examination. What you learn and practice in this course can be a significant part of your preparation”
• Assess information security risk in computing and network environments.
• Analyze reconnaissance threats to computing and network environments.
• Analyze attacks on computing and network environments.
• Analyze post-attack techniques on computing and network environments.
• Implement a vulnerability management program.
• Collect cybersecurity intelligence.
• Analyze data collected from security and event logs.
• Perform active analysis on assets and networks.
• Respond to cybersecurity incidents.
• Investigate cybersecurity incidents.
• Address security issues with the organization’s technology architecture.
To ensure your success in this course, you should meet the following requirements:
• At least two years (recommended) of experience in computer network security technology or a related field.
• The ability to recognize information security vulnerabilities and threats in the context of risk management.
• Foundation-level operational skills with some of the common operating systems for computing environments.
• Foundational knowledge of the concepts and operational framework of common assurance safeguards in computing environments. Safeguards include, but are not limited to, basic authentication and authorization, resource permissions, and anti-malware mechanisms.
• Foundation-level understanding of some of the common concepts for network environments, such as routing and switching.
• Foundational knowledge of major TCP/IP networking protocols, including, but not limited to, TCP, IP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, ARP, ICMP, and DHCP.
