CBROPS
Class Overview
Cisco's Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals
, or CBROPS, training class teaches you security concepts, common network and application operations and attacks, and the types of data needed to investigate security incidents.
This training teaches you how to monitor alerts and breaches, and how to understand and follow established procedures for response to alerts converted to incidents. Through a combination of lecture, hands-on labs, and self-study, you will learn the essential skills, concepts, and technologies to be a contributing member of a Cybersecurity Operations Center, or SOC, including understanding the IT infrastructure, operations, and vulnerabilities.
This course helps you prepare for the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate certification exam, and the role of an entry or junior level Cybersecurity Operations Analyst in a SOC.

- Explain the data that is available to the network security analyst.
- Describe the basic concepts and uses of cryptography.
- Describe security flaws in the TCP/IP protocol and how they can be used to attack networks and hosts.
- Understand common endpoint security technologies.
- Understand the kill chain and the diamond models for incident investigations.
- Understand the use of exploit kits by threat actors.
- Identify resources for hunting cyber threats.
- Explain the need for event data normalization and event correlation.
- Identify common attack vectors.
- Identify malicious activities.
- Identify patterns of suspicious behaviors.
- Conduct security incident investigations.
- Explain the use of a typical playbook in the SOC.
- Explain the use of SOC metrics to measure the effectiveness of the SOC.
- Explain the use of a workflow management system and automation to improve the effectiveness of the SOC.
- Describe a typical incident response plan and the functions of a typical Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT).
