CSX Practitioner Level 2: Detection

  • ISACA’s Cybersecurity Nexus (CSX) certification program supports cybersecurity professionals throughout their career by assessing a participant’s abilities and skills at three progressive technical skill levels. Levels are differentiated by skills, not by years of experience. Each technical skill level is assessed utilizing a vendor-neutral set of performance-based exams measuring a candidate’s technical skills, abilities and performance.
  • This official CSX Practitioner 2 course reviews the “Detect” domain. Participants will learn the basic concepts, methods and tools used to leverage cyber security controls to identify system events and non-event level incidents. CSX Practitioner 2 will help participants develop the ability to serve as a first responder, following established procedures, defined processes and working mostly with known problems on a single system.
