Be job-ready for cybersecurity operations roles with Cisco CCNP – Cybersecurity credential.
Cybersecurity operations teams are the front line of defense in protecting and defending against cyber attacks. But cybersecurity threats seem to evolve faster every day. The Cisco Certified CyberOps training and certification program prepares you with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on practice you need to safeguard your organization’s digital assets.
This CBRCOR: Performing CyberOps Using Cisco Security Technologies course teaches you security concepts, common network and application operations and attacks, and the types of data needed to investigate security incidents.
Overview
The Performing CyberOps Using Cisco Security Technologies (CBRCOR) v1.0 course guides you through cybersecurity operations fundamentals, methods, and automation.
- The knowledge you gain in this course will prepare you for the role of Information Security Analyst on a Security Operations Center (SOC) team.
- You will learn foundational concepts and their application in real-world scenarios, and how to leverage playbooks in formulating an Incident Response (IR).
- The course teaches you how to use automation for security using cloud platforms and a SecDevOps methodology.
- You will learn the techniques for detecting cyberattacks, analyzing threats, and making appropriate recommendations to improve cybersecurity.
This course also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification and prepares you for the 350-201 CBRCOR core exam.
