CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) CS0-003

On course completion, you will be able to do the following:

• Understand vulnerability response, handling, and management
• Explore threat intelligence and threat hunting concepts
• Explain important system and network architecture concepts
• Understand process improvement in security operations
• Implement vulnerability scanning methods
• Perform vulnerability analysis
• Classify vulnerability information
• Explain incident response activities. Demonstrate incident response communication
• Apply tools to identify malicious activity
• Analyze potentially malicious activity
• Understand application vulnerability assessment
• Explore scripting tools and analysis concepts
• Understand application security and attack mitigation best practices

The Official CompTIA CySA+ (Exam CS0-003) is the primary course you will need to take if your job responsibilities include capturing, monitoring, and responding to network traffic findings, software and application security, automation, threat hunting, and IT regulatory compliance. You can take this course to prepare for the CompTIA CySA+ (Exam CS0-003) certification examination.
 

To ensure your success in this course, you should have four years of hands-on experience as an incident response analyst or security operations center (SOC) analyst. CompTIA Network+, Security+, or the equivalent knowledge is strongly recommended.
