Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate Online Training
In this intermediate Cisco CyberOps training, Keith Barker prepares learners to take the 210-250 SECFND and 210-255 SECOPS exam, which are the two exams required to earn the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate certification.
The Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate certification was untouched by the 2020 overhaul of the Cisco certification program. Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate was designed by Cisco to validate the skills expected of a security analyst with one year of experience. If you’re a government employee or federal contractor, the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate also meets the requirements for DOD 8750 and/or DOD 8140 baseline certifications for IAT Level II and IAM Level I job roles.
After completing this Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate training, you'll be ready to take the two Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate exams but also have a good handle on foundational cryptography, security monitoring, incident response, and computer forensics topics.
For IT managers, this CyberOps training can be used for 210-250 SECFND and 210-255 SECOPS exam prep, on-boarding new security analysts, or as part of a security training plan.
