CySA+ training FAQs

Is the CySA+ (Cybersecurity Analyst) certification from CompTIA worth it?

Yes, the CySA+ is a good certification from a well-respected organization, it's worth it for anyone considering a career in cybersecurity or who wants to validate their first years on the job with a reputable credential in the industry. CompTIA maintains vendor-agnostic certifications, which means that by earning the CySA+, you prove you're able to provide a basic level of cybersecurity for networks, regardless of their hardware and software combinations.

What's the difference between CS0-002 and CS0-003 CompTIA certification exams?

As is their habit, CompTIA retired the previous version of the CySA+ (CS0-002) and replaced it with CS0-003. For the most part, the biggest difference between the two certification exams comes down to keeping the certification up-to-date and relevant with changing conditions in cybersecurity. CompTIA reduced the number of domains from five to four, but increased the technologies and skills tested. There's a greater emphasis on cloud and mobile too.

How long do I need to study for the CySA+

According to a CBT Nuggets survey of how long to study for CySA+, cybersecurity professionals who earned their CySA+ say it took up to three months to prepare for the exam. One-third of people needed more than three months, and only about a quarter were able to prepare for the exam in less than four weeks.

How much does a CySA+ cybersecurity analyst make?

CBT Nuggets has published several reports on our findings about how much cybersecurity professionals make. In the cybersecurity career, job title matters a lot, as does experience, number of credentials, and – above all – location. The national average salary for a cybersecurity engineer was $150,000 in 2023, and for an information security analyst it was $70,000. Exactly how much a cybersecurity analyst makes is somewhere near that range.

Who should take this CySA+ certification exam course?

This cybersecurity analyst course is ideal for anyone who's planning on earning the CySA+ from CompTIA, since it prepares you for the exam in its entirety.
