CyberOps Associate

There are no pre-requisites to for CyberOps Associate certification.

Logitrain highly recommends an understanding of networking and security concepts before undertaking the CyberOps Associate Certification Training Course.

Candidates can achieve this certification by passing the following exam.

• 200-201 CBROPS: Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals

The certification exams if included in your course can be registered and attempted within 3 months of course/module completion at Logitrain training centre on weekdays during normal business hours (excludes public holidays)

• Security Concepts
• Security Monitoring
• Host-Based Analysis
• Network Intrusion Analysis
• Security Policies and Procedures

This course is likely to add to the employment-related skills of the participants. The skills developed are likely to be used in the course of being an employee or working in a business.

• Describe the CIA triad
• Compare security deployments
• Describe security terms
• Compare security concepts
• Describe the principles of the defense-in-depth strategy
• Compare access control models
• Describe terms as defined in CVSS
• Identify the challenges of data visibility (network, host, and cloud) in detection
• Identify potential data loss from provided traffic profiles
• Interpret the 5-tuple approach to isolate a compromised host in a grouped set of logs
• Compare rule-based detection vs. behavioral and statistical detection
• Compare attack surface and vulnerability
• Identify the types of data provided by these technologies
• Describe the impact of these technologies on data visibility
• Describe the uses of these data types in security monitoring
• Describe network attacks, such as protocol-based, denial of service, distributed denial of service, and man-in-the-middle
• Describe web application attacks, such as SQL injection, command injections, and cross-site scripting
• Describe social engineering attacks
• Describe endpoint-based attacks, such as buffer overflows, command and control (C2), malware, and ransomware
• Describe evasion and obfuscation techniques, such as tunneling, encryption, and proxies
• Describe the impact of certificates on security (includes PKI, public/private crossing the network, asymmetric/symmetric)
• Identify the certificate components in a given scenario
• Describe the functionality of these endpoint technologies in regard to security monitoring
• Identify components of an operating system (such as Windows and Linux) in a given scenario
• Describe the role of attribution in an investigation
• Compare tampered and untampered disk image
• Interpret operating system, application, or command line logs to identify an event
• Interpret the output report of a malware analysis tool (such as a detonation chamber or sandbox)
• Map the provided events to source technologies
• Compare impact and no impact for these items
• Compare deep packet inspection with packet filtering and stateful firewall operation
• Compare inline traffic interrogation and taps or traffic monitoring
• Compare the characteristics of data obtained from taps or traffic monitoring and transactional data (NetFlow) in the analysis of network traffic
• Extract files from a TCP stream when given a PCAP file and Wireshark
• Identify key elements in an intrusion from a given PCAP file
• Interpret the fields in protocol headers as related to intrusion analysis
• Interpret common artifact elements from an event to identify an alert
• Interpret basic regular expressions
• Describe management concepts
• Describe the elements in an incident response plan as stated in NIST.SP800-61
• Apply the incident handling process (such as NIST.SP800-61) to an event
• Map elements to these steps of analysis based on the NIST.SP800-61
• Map the organization stakeholders against the NIST IR categories (CMMC, NIST.SP800-61)
• Describe concepts as documented in NIST.SP800-86
• Identify these elements used for network profiling
• Identify these elements used for server profiling
• Identify protected data in a network
• Classify intrusion events into categories as defined by security models, such as Cyber Kill Chain Model and Diamond Model of Intrusion
• Describe the relationship of SOC metrics to scope analysis (time to detect, time to contain, time to respond, time to control)

We highly recommend spending ample time for self-study during this course by reviewing and consolidating what you’ve learned, to be well prepared for the exam.
