About this course

The CSA+ certification acronym has changed to CySA+. CompTIA and its partners will make the change by June 29th, 2018. The exam code will remain the same.

As attackers have learned to evade traditional signature-based solutions such as firewalls, an analytics-based approach within the IT security industry is increasingly important for most organizations. The behavioral analytics skills covered by CySA+ identify and combat malware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs), resulting in enhanced threat visibility across a broad attack surface. CompTIA CySA+ is for IT professionals looking to gain the following security analyst skills:

  • Configure and use threat detection tools.
  • Perform data analysis.
  • Interpret the results to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks to an organization.

Course Objectives

After completing the CompTIA CySA+ course, delegates will have the skills and knowledge to:

  • Assess information security risk in computing and network environments
  • Analyse the cybersecurity threat landscape
  • Analyse reconnaissance threats to computing and network environments
  • Analyse attacks on computing and network environments
  • Analyse post-attack techniques on computing and network environments
  • Implement a vulnerability management program
  • Evaluate the organization’s security through penetration testing
  • Collect cybersecurity intelligence
  • Analyse data collected from security and event logs
  • Perform active analysis on assets and networks
  • Respond to cyber security incidents
  • Investigate cyber security incidents
  • Address security issues with the organization’s technology architecture
