As hackers have learned to evade traditional signature-based solutions in our ever-growing digital world, such as firewalls, an analytics-based approach within the IT security industry is increasingly important for most organizations. Assessing and managing risks/threats towards enterprises is the main focus of the CySa+ training, and professionals who are specialized in assessing new types of threats and knowing how to properly respond to them are needed now more than ever.
