This official training designed by Cisco, Junior Cybersecurity Analyst – CCST Cybersecurity Certification, is based on a curricular tour of the key areas in the evaluation and maintenance of information security in organizations, including operating systems, applications and network communications. Based on fundamental aspects, a comprehensive perspective of the current scenario of cybersecurity threats is offered; The targets, vulnerabilities, perpetrators, and diversity of technological elements that attackers exploit are identified and categorized.

Likewise, the different phases that make up cyberattacks are characterized, and the points to be taken into account to establish the best methods of containment and defense. The models, approaches and technologies used in the establishment of security mechanisms are also discussed, both from the perspective of network communication, and the devices that support it, as well as the security of the end points – clients and servers.

Next, methodologies for monitoring, evaluating and managing network and operating system security are presented and it is shown how to collect threat intelligence for the discovery of existing or potential vulnerabilities in the organization. Based on the knowledge of these elements, it is evident that there is a need to apply protection measures and implement a series of good practices, through governance and compliance frameworks, in order to improve security levels in organizations, and to be able to manage and respond to cybersecurity incidents.
