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, this course teaches participants an analytics-based approach within the IT security industry which is increasingly important for most organizations. Participants will identify and combat malware and advanced persistent threats (APTs) resulting in enhanced threat visibility across a broad attack surface. This course prepares IT Professionals for the CompTIA CySA+ examination to certify the participant has the knowledge and skills required to configure and use threat detection tools, perform data analysis, and interpret results to identify vulnerabilities, threats, and risks to an organization with the end goal of securing and protecting applications and systems within an organization.
