CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst+: Analyzing Malicious Activity

Malware mitigation techniques include the deployment configuration and ongoing management of virus and threat endpoint protection. Online tools such as VirusTotal can be used to upload suspicious files that might contain malware. Cybersecurity technicians must be able to determine the authenticity of email messages as well as create sandbox environments for testing configurations.

In this course you will begin by configuring Windows virus and threat protection and uploading a potentially infected file to VirusTotal. Next you will determine when to use cloud-based and on-premises malware analysis solutions like Joe Sandbox and Cuckoo Sandbox. Then you will view email details in an effort to determine message authenticity and you will create a repeatable compliant environment using Azure Blueprints. Finally you will learn how to work with user virtual private networks (VPNs) and the Tor web browser and find out how bug bounties offer rewards for the identification of flAWS in hardware and software.

This course can be used to prepare for the CS0-003: CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst+ exam.
