Course Overview

When attacks slip through unnoticed, the results are costly: data breaches, regulatory fines, downtime, and lost customer trust. And the demand for skilled defenders has never been higher, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting a 33% growth in Information Security Analyst jobs from 2023 to 2033, far outpacing most careers. Without trained analysts, organizations are left vulnerable.

CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) training equips you with the skills employers demand, including threat detection, log analysis, and incident response. This hands-on certification course prepares you to identify vulnerabilities, stop attacks before they spread, and keep critical systems secure.

This instructor-led course prepares you to proactively defend systems using behavioral analytics, threat intelligence, and hands-on investigation tools. You’ll gain real-world experience managing vulnerabilities, analyzing SIEM output, investigating incidents, and preparing for forensic analysis—all while developing the knowledge needed to pass the CompTIA CySA+ certification exam (CS0-002 or CS0-003).

The CySA+ certification is also DoD 8570/8140 approved, making this course an excellent choice for military, civilian, and contractor personnel who require compliance with Department of Defense cybersecurity workforce standards.
