• We can adapt this Cybersecurity Analyst+ Certification (CySA+) Training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
• If you are familiar with some aspects of this Cybersecurity Analyst+ Certification (CySA+) Training course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
• We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the Cybersecurity Analyst+ Certification (CySA+) Training around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
• If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the Cybersecurity Analyst+ Certification (CySA+) Training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.

The Cybersecurity Analyst+ Certification (CySA+) Training program, much like the certification itself, is intended for professionals who use threat detection tools, perform data analysis, and interpret the results to identify vulnerabilities, threats, and risks to an organization with the end goal of securing and protecting applications and systems within an organization. Some example job functions may include, but are not limited to:

• IT Security Analyst
• Vulnerability Analyst
• Threat Intelligence Analyst
• SOC Analyst
• Security Engineer
• Cybersecurity Specialist

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this Cybersecurity Analyst+ Certification (CySA+) Training course are:
