What you'll learn:

As attackers have learned to evade traditional signature-based solutions, such as firewalls and anti-virus software, an analytics-based approach within the IT security industry is increasingly important for organizations. CompTIA CySA+ applies behavioral analytics to networks to improve the overall state of security through identifying and combating malware and advanced persistent threats (APTs), resulting in an enhanced threat visibility across a broad attack surface. It will validate an IT professional’s ability to proactively defend and continuously improve the security of an organization. CySA+ will verify the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills required to:

• Leverage intelligence and threat detection techniques
• Analyze and interpret data
• Identify and address vulnerabilities
• Suggest preventative measures
• Effectively respond to and recover from incidents
• Assess and respond to security threats and operate a systems and network security analysis platform
• 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
