Traditional information security is no match for the expanding cybercrime ecosystem; therefore, security measures must evolve to intelligent security rather than information security. Achieving the Cisco Certified CyberOps Professional certification elevates your skills to meet that demand and confirms your abilities as an Information Security analyst in incident response roles, cloud security, and other active defense security roles.
Pré-requis
No formal prerequisites for CyberOps Professional. Candidates often also have three to five years of experience implementing enterprise networking solutions solutions.
Exams and recommended training
