The CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst+ (CySA+) methodology uses behavioural analytics to prevent, detect and combat cybersecurity threats. It is an intermediate level qualification in the CompTIA Certification Pathway and it will teach you how to configure and use security threat tools and how to perform data analysis to identify a networks vulnerabilities, threats, and risks.

Ultimately, you will be able to secure applications, systems, networks and the organisations that they help to run. The CompTIA CySA+ is recommended for IT professionals with CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+ or equivalent level knowledge, and a minimum of 3-4 years working in information security. While these skills are not compulsory, they’re highly recommended as CySA+ follows on from Security+ and requires foundational level knowledge.

The course materials are delivered online and you will have 24/7 access to our learning portal for one year, which means you can study anytime, anywhere. The training is compatible with mobile and desktop devices using the Windows and iOS operating systems.

Once you have gained this qualification, you will be able to function in roles including IT Security Analyst, Cyber Security Specialist, Threat Analyst, Security Engineer, Vulnerability and Cyber Security Analyst. These skills will put you at the frontline of the cybersecurity battle to stop hackers, ensuring you are using the latest technologies to deter their efforts. The natural next step after the CySA+ is the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner, which we also have available.
