What you’ll learn in this course
The Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) v1.0 course teaches you security concepts, common network and application operations and attacks, and the types of data needed to investigate security incidents. You’ll learn how to monitor alerts and breaches and how to understand and follow established procedures for response to alerts converted to incidents. Through a combination of lecture, hands-on labs, and self-study,
you will learn the essential skills, concepts, and technologies to be a contributing member of a Cybersecurity Operations Center (SOC) including understanding the IT infrastructure, operations, and vulnerabilities. This course helps you prepare
for the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate certification and the role of a Junior or Entry-level
cybersecurity operations analyst in a SOC. This course also earns you 30 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
