CompTIA CySA+ Cybersecurity Analyst (CS0-002) course Overview

This CompTIA CySA+ Cybersecurity Analyst (CS0-002) course introduces the practical skills used to identify cyber threats, monitor security activity and support incident response within modern organisations.

Designed for learners exploring cybersecurity analyst and Security Operations Centre (SOC) roles, the course covers threat intelligence, vulnerability management, security monitoring and digital forensics. You will learn how analysts interpret security data, investigate suspicious activity and apply structured processes to reduce cyber risk.

The course also explores cloud security, endpoint protection, network defence, identity and access management, security automation and risk management. Clear, step-by-step lessons make complex cybersecurity concepts easier to understand while helping you develop practical knowledge for real-world security environments.

Please note that CS0-002 is a legacy exam version. This course is best suited to building foundational cybersecurity analyst knowledge rather than preparing for the current CompTIA CySA+ exam.

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify common cybersecurity threats, attack techniques and system vulnerabilities.
  • Understand how security analysts monitor networks, endpoints and applications.
  • Interpret security alerts, logs and threat intelligence information.
  • Apply vulnerability management processes to identify and reduce security risks.
  • Understand the key stages of structured incident response.
  • Explore digital forensics concepts, evidence handling and packet analysis.
  • Build foundational knowledge for cybersecurity analyst and SOC-based roles.
