Course Overview

The CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) examination is the only intermediate high-stakes cybersecurity analyst certification with performance-based questions covering security analytics, intrusion detection, and response. High-stakes exams are proctored at a Pearson VUE testing center in a highly secure environment. CySA+ is the most up-to-date security analyst certification that covers advanced persistent threats in a post-2014 cybersecurity environment. The behavioral analytics skills covered by the CompTIA CySA+ certification identify and combat malware and advanced persistent threats (APTs), resulting in better threat visibility across a broad attack surface by focusing on network behavior, including an organization’s interior network. The exam will certify that 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

CompTIA CySA+ meets the ISO 17024 standard and is approved by the U.S. Department of Defense to fulfill Directive 8570.01-M requirements. It is compliant with government regulations under the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). Regulators and governments rely on ANSI accreditation because it provides confidence and trust in the outputs of an accredited program. Over 1.3 million CompTIA ISO/ANSI-accredited exams have been delivered since January 1, 2011.

What’s New

Information security threats are rising around the world, leaving organizations in search of well-trained security analysts.  CySA+ CS0-003 has been updated to reflect current trends in security analyst tools like enterprise Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems and EDR/XDR, which have matured to include more automated features. In addition, the CySA+ exam includes expanded coverage of cloud, mobile, and zero-trust indicators of compromise and more emphasis on threat-hunting topics, automation of intel, and prioritizing alerts for better incident response.

Course Content

  • System and network architecture: explaining log ingestion, operating system (OS) concepts, infrastructure, network architecture, identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and sensitive data protection.
  • Malicious activity indicators: analyzing network anomalies like bandwidth spikes and rogue devices, host issues like unauthorized software and data exfiltration, application irregularities like unexpected communication and service interruptions, and threats like social engineering attacks.
  • Tools and techniques: detecting malicious activity using tools like Wireshark, security information and event management (SIEM), and VirusTotal, along with techniques like pattern recognition and email analysis, supported by scripting languages like Python and PowerShell.
  • Threat intelligence and hunting: comparing threat actors, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP); confidence levels; collection methods; intelligence sharing; and hunting techniques.
  • Process improvement: standardizing processes, streamlining operations, integrating tools, and using a single pane of glass.

  • Vulnerability scanning: implementing asset discovery, internal vs. external scanning, agent vs. agentless, credentialed vs. non-credentialed, passive vs. active, static vs. dynamic, and critical infrastructure scanning.
  • Assessment tool output: analyzing network scanning, web application scanners, vulnerability scanners, debuggers, multipurpose tools, and cloud infrastructure assessments.
  • Vulnerability prioritization: interpreting common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS), validating findings, assessing exploitability, and considering asset value and zero-day vulnerabilities.
  • Mitigation controls: recommending controls for cross-site scripting (XSS), overflow vulnerabilities, and data poisoning.
  • Vulnerability response: explaining compensating controls, patching, configuration management, maintenance windows, exceptions, governance, service-level objectives (SLOs), secure software development life cycle (SDLC), and threat modeling.
