Begin your career as an all-round cybersecurity analyst

Gain the confidence and competence needed to begin your career as a cybersecurity analyst with broad perspective

THE HOW

This practitioner-focused course increases the chances of aspiring professionals to break into the field of cybersecurity given the breadth of the topics covered. The course extends our SOC analyst curriculum by delving into the cybersecurity aspect of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC), teaching students all they need to know to explore job opportunities in Security Operations, Incident Response, Vulnerability Management, and GRC.

Like the SOC Analyst course, it can be taken as online as self-paced or instructor-led. Those who prefer to learn in a traditional classroom setting can attend the onsite version at our San Antonio, Texas office over a 4-day period.
