Who Should Attend
This training is designed for associate-level cybersecurity analysts who are working in security operation centers.
• Students pursuing a technical degree
• Current IT professionals
• Recent college graduates with a technical degree
Prerequisites
Before taking this training, you should have the following knowledge and skills:
• Familiarity with Ethernet and TCP/IP networking
• Working knowledge of the Windows and Linux operating systems
• Familiarity with basics of networking security concepts
The following Cisco course can help you gain the knowledge you need to prepare for this course: Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA®)
What you will Learn
The Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) training teaches you security concepts, common network and application operations and attacks, and the types of data needed to investigate security incidents. This training teaches you how to monitor alerts and breaches, and how to understand and follow established procedures for response to alerts converted to incidents. Through a combination of lecture, hands-on labs, and self-study, you will learn the essential skills, concepts, and technologies to be a contributing member of a Cybersecurity Operations Center (SOC) including understanding the IT infrastructure, operations, and vulnerabilities.
This training helps you prepare for the Cisco® Certified CyberOps Associate certification and the role of a Junior or Entry-level cybersecurity operations analyst in a SOC. This training also earns you 30 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
