CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CYSA+)

CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) is a certification for cybersecurity professionals tasked with incident detection, prevention and response through continuous security monitoring.

The skills that today’s security analysts need to protect organizations are different than the skills they had just a few years ago. CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) certification has evolved to help organizations address, monitor and respond to threats and manage risk. Specifically, learners will gain skills in security operations, vulnerability management, incident response and management, and reporting and communication. CySA+-certified professionals are able to confidently lead incident detection, prevention and response in job roles like security analyst, Security Operations Center (SOC) analyst, incident response analyst, vulnerability management analyst, security engineer and threat hunter.

CompTIA CySA+ is compliant with ISO/ANSI 17024 standards and maps to 10 DCWF work roles used by U.S. DoD Directive 8140.03M. View the approved work roles at CompTIA.org/blog/putting-8140-to-work-upskilling-the-dod-workforce
