Introduction
The Performing CyberOps Using Cisco Security Technologies (CBRCOR) training guides you through cybersecurity operations fundamentals, methods, and automation. The knowledge you gain in this course will prepare you for the role of Information Security Analyst on a Security Operations Center (SOC) team. You will learn foundational concepts and their application in real-world scenarios, and how to leverage playbooks in formulating an Incident Response (IR). The training teaches you how to use automation for security using cloud platforms and a SecDevOps methodology. You will learn the techniques for detecting cyberattacks, analyzing threats, and making appropriate recommendations to improve cybersecurity.
This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification and prepares you for the 350-201 CBRCOR core exam.

Associated certifications and exam
The 350-201 CBRCOR is a 120-minute exam associated with the Cisco Certified CyberOps Professional certification. The multiple-choice format tests knowledge of core cybersecurity operations including cybersecurity fundamentals, techniques, policies, processes, and automation. The exam will test for knowledge in the following areas:
- Monitoring for cyberattacks
- Analyzing high volume of data using automation tools and platforms – both open source and commercial
- Accurately identifying the nature of attack and formulate a mitigation plan
- Scenario-based questions; for example, using a screenshot of output from a tool, you may be asked to interpret portions of output and establish conclusions
