Includes student digital courseware, lab and credential for CyberSec First Responder - Advanced (CFR-A): Applying Your Security Expertise (Exam CFA-110).

 

This course takes cybersecurity practice to the next level. It is an advanced experience that builds upon the defensive skills and knowledge taught by the CyberSec First Responder® (Exam CFR-410) course. It is an applied experience in that it almost entirely consists of hands-on exercises featuring many different tools and environments.

 

The "A" in CFR-A can also refer to the cybersecurity modes this course is built around:

Attack: Simulating attacks on computing assets to test security measures and learn more about threat vectors.

Analyze: Identifying, detecting, and assessing threats to learn more about how they operate and how they affect security.

Address: Implementing countermeasures and other protections to mitigate the impact of threats to security.

 

The CFR-A assessment is primarily designed for cybersecurity practitioners in various red-team or blue-team roles who wish to validate their knowledge of advanced techniques for securing the organization and its assets. Other individuals who wish to validate advanced cybersecurity knowledge are also candidates for this assessment.
