What is Cloud Gaming?

CompTIA CySA+ is an acronym for Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) CyberSecurity Analysts (CySA). It is an intermediate-level certification that is awarded by CompTIA to professionals who apply behavioral analytics to detect, prevent, and combat cybersecurity threats by continuous monitoring. 

CySA+ includes the security analytic skills used by Incident Responders, Threat Intelligence Analysts, and Application Security Analysts, using the latest techniques in Security Operations Center (SOC). Behavioral Analysts help to improve the security level by combating and identifying threats, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) to offer enhanced visibility of threats over the attack system.
