Pass Your CompTIA CySA+ Exam on the First Try

Four days of instructor-led training on the CS0-004 exam objectives, official CompTIA courseware, hands-on labs built around the performance-based questions, your exam voucher, a free retake, and access to your instructor after class ends.

The boot camp is aligned to the new CySA+ V4 exam (CS0-004), which launched June 23, 2026. If you prefer the outgoing version, the English CS0-003 exam remains available through December 22, 2026, and your voucher can be applied to either while both are live.

SOC analysts, incident responders, vulnerability analysts, and IT professionals moving into defensive security roles. It also fits anyone who needs a DoD 8140 approved credential at the Advanced proficiency level for cyber defense work roles.

There are no enforced prerequisites. CompTIA recommends about 4 years of experience in a SOC analyst or vulnerability analyst role, and the exam assumes Security+ level knowledge of networks and security concepts.

Not formally. But the exam builds directly on Security+ level knowledge, so if you are coming from general IT without security exposure, we recommend earning Security+ first.

The CS0-004 exam has a maximum of 85 questions over 165 minutes, mixing multiple choice with performance-based questions where you analyze logs, interpret scan results, and work through incident scenarios. The passing score is 750 on a scale of 100 to 900.

The four domain names stay the same, but the weights rebalanced to Security Operations 34%, Vulnerability Management 26%, Incident Response and Management 24%, and Reporting and Communication 16%. The biggest addition is AI in security operations, covering AI use cases, risks, and governance.

Yes. CySA+ appears on the DoD 8140 Approved Qualifications Matrix V2.1 mapped to ten DCWF work roles, at the Advanced proficiency level on nine of them, including Cyber Defense Analyst, Cyber Defense Incident Responder, and Vulnerability Assessment Analyst.

You can test at our private Pearson VUE testing center within 7 days of class, while the material is fresh. No scheduling delays and no waiting weeks for an appointment.

You are covered by our pass guarantee. Your free retake includes a second exam voucher and the option to sit the course again at no cost.

CySA+ is valid for three years through CompTIA’s Continuing Education program. You renew by earning 60 CEUs across the cycle, or by passing a higher-level CompTIA exam such as SecurityX, which renews CySA+ automatically.
