Читать книгу CompTIA CySA+ Practice Tests - Mike Chapple - Страница 12

We recommend you use this book in conjunction with the Cybersecurity Analyst+ (CySA+) Study Guide, Second Edition. Read through chapters in the study guide and then try your hand at the practice questions associated with each domain in this book.

You should also keep in mind that the CySA+ certification is designed to test practical experience, so you should also make sure that you get some hands-on time with the security tools covered on the exam. CompTIA recommends the use of NetWars-style simulations, penetration testing and defensive cybersecurity simulations, and incident response training to prepare for the CySA+.

Additional resources for hands-on exercises include the following:

 Exploit-Exercises.com provides virtual machines, documentation, and challenges covering a wide range of security issues at exploit-exercises.lains.space.

 Hacking-Lab provides capture-the-flag (CTF) exercises in a variety of fields at www.hacking-lab.com/index.html.

 PentesterLab provides a subscription-based access to penetration testing exercises at www.pentesterlab.com/exercises/.

 The InfoSec Institute provides online capture-the-flag activities with bounties for written explanations of successful hacks at ctf.infosecinstitute.com.

Since the exam uses scenario-based learning, expect the questions to involve analysis and thought, rather than relying on simple memorization. As you might expect, it is impossible to replicate that experience in a book, so the questions here are intended to help you be confident that you know the topic well enough to think through hands-on exercises.
