As attackers have learned to evade traditional signature-based solutions such as firewalls and anti-virus software, an analytics-based approach within the IT security industry is increasingly important for organizations. Behavioral analytics in regards to networks helps to improve the overall state of security through identifying and combating malware and advanced persistent threats (APTs), resulting in enhanced threat visibility across a broad attack surface.

The CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) certification verifies that successful candidates have the knowledge and skills required to leverage intelligence and threat detection techniques, analyze and interpret data, identify and address vulnerabilities, suggest preventative measures, and effectively respond to and recover from incidents.
