CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) is an IT workforce certification that applies behavioural analytics to networks and devices to prevent, detect and combat cybersecurity threats through continuous security monitoring. The course focuses on the learners’ ability to not only proactively capture, monitor, and respond to network traffic findings, but also emphasises software and application security, automation, threat hunting, and IT regulatory compliance, which affects the daily work of security analysts.
It also covers the most up-to-date core security analyst skills and upcoming job skills used by threat intelligence analysts, application security analysts, compliance analysts, incident responders/handlers, and threat hunters, bringing new techniques for combating threats inside and outside of the Security Operations Center (SOC).
