Course Overview
The CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) certification focuses on the practical skills required to detect, analyse, and respond to cyber threats within modern organisations. This programme prepares learners to work effectively in security operations environments where continuous monitoring and rapid response are critical.
Across five mentor-led days, participants explore real-world security monitoring scenarios including threat intelligence analysis, vulnerability management, and incident response processes. The course introduces tools and techniques commonly used by security analysts to identify malicious activity across networks, hosts, and applications.
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners develop structured analytical approaches to investigating threats and improving security operations. By the end of the programme, participants will understand how to analyse security events, prioritise vulnerabilities, and communicate security findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
