Before you start
You should understand basic networking and know the common security tools, such as firewalls and antivirus. No earlier certification is required, though many learners take CompTIA Security+ first.
The course is self-paced. Use the 100 practice questions to find the domains you need to revisit, and spend extra time on the scenario-based lessons, since CySA+ tests how you apply what you know.
About the CS0-002 exam
CS0-002 is the CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) exam that this course follows. CompTIA is a vendor-neutral body, so the certification is not tied to one product. CySA+ shows that you can use monitoring, threat intelligence and vulnerability management to defend an organisation and respond to incidents. In CompTIA’s security pathway it sits above Security+ and below the advanced CASP+ (now SecurityX), and it focuses on hands-on, defensive analyst work.
CompTIA refreshes its exams every few years and has since released newer CySA+ versions. Check comptia.org for the version on offer before you book, and see our CS0-003 course for the newer objectives.
The core skills, such as reading logs, managing vulnerabilities and handling incidents, stay the same across versions.
