Who Should Attend
This training is designed for individuals seeking a role as an associate-level cybersecurity analyst and IT professionals desiring knowledge in Cybersecurity operations or those in pursuit of the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate
certification including:
• 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 provides an understanding of the network infrastructure devices, operations, and vulnerabilities of the TCP/IP protocol suite, and basic information security concepts, common network application operations and attacks, the Windows and Linux operating systems, and the types of data that are used to investigate security incidents.
After completing this training, you will have the basic knowledge that is required to perform the job role of an associate-level cybersecurity analyst in a threat-centric security operations center (SOC).
This training prepares you for the 200-201 CBROPS v1.2 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Cybersecurity 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 toward recertification
Course Objectives
After taking this training, you should be able to:
• • Explain how a SOC operates and describe the different types of services that are performed from a Tier 1 SOC analyst’s perspective
• Explain the use of SOC metrics to measure the effectiveness of the SOC
