CompTIA CySA+ - Cyber Security – eLearning (exam included)

CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) is a performance-based qualification for cybersecurity analytics. With proven expertise in security analysis, intrusion detection and response, CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) certified candidates are highly sought after by companies facing the latest technology, threats and expectations of the digital age.

The version of this certification is CompTIA CySA+ CS0-002.

Why CompTIA CySA+?

• CySA+ focuses not only on the candidate's ability to proactively collect, monitor and respond to network traffic, but also on software and application security, automation, threat hunting and IT compliance that impact the daily work of security analysts.
• The CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) has performance-based questions covering intrusion detection, security analysis and response. Passing the exam immediately validates a candidate's knowledge and abilities in these areas.
• Several leading organizations have contributed to the development of the CySA+ exam, including the US Navy, Target, Washington State Patrol, Linux Professional Institute, and BlacKnight Cyber ​​Security International.

As attackers have learned to bypass traditional signature-based solutions such as firewalls and anti-virus software, analytics-based approaches are becoming increasingly important for organizations in the IT security industry.

CompTIA CySA+ applies behavioral analytics to networks to improve overall security by identifying and combating malware and advanced persistent threats (APTs), resulting in an improved threat landscape across a broad attack surface. It will validate an IT professional's ability to proactively defend and continuously improve the security of an organization.
