E-learning: Performing CyberOps Using Cisco Security Technologies (CBRCOR) - Early Access (CBRCOR)

The Performing CyberOps Using Cisco Security Technologies (CBRCOR) v1.0 course covers cybersecurity operations fundamentals, methods, and automation. The knowledge you gain in this course will prepare you for the role of Information Security Analyst on a Security Operations Center (SOC) team.

You will learn foundational concepts and their application in real-world scenarios, and how to leverage playbooks in formulating an Incident Response (IR). The course shows you how to use automation for security using cloud platforms and a SecDevOps methodology. You will learn the techniques for detecting cyberattacks, analyzing threats, and making appropriate recommendations to improve cybersecurity.

Please Note: The official full release date for this course is April 2021, but the first three sections are available now. New sections will be unlocked as they become available, with scheduled monthly updates starting in January and ending in April when the entirety of the course will be accessible.
