Cybr Courses

Get ready to pass the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 with our in-depth, comprehensive, and high-quality course (including 4k videos and full transcripts).

Whether you are new to IT or you already have experience, my course is designed to help you learn all of the topics you need.

The CompTIA Security+ certification is one of the most well-known cybersecurity certifications. It can not only provide you with more job opportunities, but it also provides you with a learning path of important cybersecurity topics you need to understand in order to have a successful career in this space. In fact, certain jobs require that you have at least one IT certification, and the Security+ can often qualify as one of those certifications.

By the way, I'm Christophe Limpalair, the founder of Cybr, and the author of this all-in-one Security+ course. I have over 7 years of training experience, and I’ve been in IT for about 20 years. I’ve taught tens of thousands of students in cybersecurity, cloud computing, and web development, and I look forward to helping you get certified.

I've personally taken and passed this exam, so I know exactly what you need to learn and how, and I've sprinkled in tips and tricks throughout the course that will help you get ready for the real exam.

I specifically designed this course syllabus to match the official CompTIA Exam Objectives so that you can keep track of what you’ve learned and what you still need to learn. Scroll down for a breakdown of what this course covers.

On top of the training you receive, you get access to Cybr’s free Discord community where you can meet others who are actively studying for the Security+ or who have passed it and can provide you with tips and tricks.

With an increasing demand for cybersecurity jobs, getting started with this course is a no-brainer. Let’s get started, and let’s take your career to the next level!

I’ll see you in the course!

NOTE: We do not currently plan on refreshing this course for the 701. There is a significant amount of overlap in the course material (over 93% by our estimation), so this course will still largely prepare you for the 701, but it was not technically designed for that certification version. The main differences are that just a few topics were added in the 701, and some topics were removed (but would still be useful to learn about). Otherwise, they literally just shuffled the domains around to make it look like a totally different cert. 

Practice for the real CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certification exam with our realistic practice exams. Our exams closely resemble the real exam to provide you with the type of questions and answers that you can expect to see on the exam itself. In fact, we include both types of CompTIA questions: Performance-based questions and Multiple-choice questions.

Performance-based Questions (PBQs): Access multiple PBQs which are designed to test a candidate's ability to solve problems in real-world settings. These are run as simulations for the Security+, so we provide you with interactive testing that closely resembles what you could expect to see on the exam. For example, we provide PBQs that are drag & drop and fill in the blank.

Multiple-choice Questions: Access multiple-choice questions that cover a wide range of topics covered by the real exam. These questions and answers have been carefully crafted by Cybr to verify your knowledge of Domains 1 through 5, which include: Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities; Architecture and Design; Implementation; Operations and Incident Response; Governance, Risk, and Compliance.

Every single question in our practice exam was created by individuals who are CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certified, which means that they have experienced the exam first-hand and passed it. We know what you're going to go through, so we want you to be as prepared as possible. We even include detailed explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. That way, you continue to learn as you take our practice exams, and you can identify focus points. The exam itself will never contain more than 90 questions but could have fewer, which is why our practice exams include a minimum of 80 questions up to 90 questions, as a combination of PBQs and Multiple Choice.

NOTE: We do not currently plan on refreshing these practice exams for the 701. There is a significant amount of overlap in the material between the two certification version (over 80% by our estimation), so this course will still largely prepare you for the 701, but it was not technically designed for that certification version.

Description: In this course, you will develop the skills you need to successfully perform and combat Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. XSS is one of the top 10 most dangerous and common web application attacks according to both OWASP and CWE. I've spent months creating and collecting the best resources on XSS to put them in this course so that you can learn Cross-Site Scripting in a fun, efficient, and practical manner.

In order to truly understand how XSS works and how to defend against it, you have to learn hands-on by executing attacks against vulnerable applications and then looking at secure versions of the same code, and that's exactly what you'll do in this course. We start out by explaining the concepts of XSS and its 3 main types: Reflected, Stored (Persistent), and DOM-based. Then, we take a look at case studies of recent real-world XSS vulnerabilities in Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, Tesla, Airbnb, and TikTok. After that, we spin up a lab environment to perform all 3 types of attacks with both manual and automated approaches. We then set up, configure, and use a powerful browser exploitation framework called BeEF to deliver a payload that hooks unsuspecting browsers. From there, you can launch a number of different attacks using BeEF command modules (ie: scanning internal networks, defacing websites, compromising routers, and more). Next, we apply everything we've learned to pentest the OWASP Juice Shop starting with information gathering, and then exploiting all 3 types of XSS. Finally, we wrap up the course by discussing the most (and least) effective defensive controls, including rules, cheat sheets, and recommended code review techniques to properly defend your applications from this dangerous threat.

If you're looking for a hands-on way to learn Cross-Site Scripting, this is your course!

Learn the fundamentals of DevSecOps to understand what it means, why it matters, and how to implement it within your organization. With DevSecOps, one size doesn't fit all, and it's not just a matter of implementing a handful of tools or concepts. It's about understanding what makes sense for your use case and requirements, and what approaches are most relevant. It's also about understanding how to go from zero to the first few steps of implementation, and how to track progress along the way. Regardless of whether you're starting from scratch with a brand new application, or whether you're dealing with a mature product and organization, that's what this course focuses on helping you achieve.

Learn how to effectively respond to incidents in your AWS accounts regardless of whether you are running a single or multi-account setup using CloudTrail Lake and Athena — two native AWS services.

This Incident Response (IR) course simulates attacks against your AWS environments that have been seen in the real-world. After simulating attacks, you’ll put on your security analyst hat to respond to the incident. You will then learn how to follow IR playbooks from AWS and eventually even create your own by following NIST’s 4 phases:

• Preparation
• Detection and Analysis
• Containment, Eradication, and Recovery
• Post-Incident Activity

You’ll learn how to gather information to understand what’s going on and what resources are involved, and how to properly contain the affected resources. You will then take steps to eradicate the threat, recover (and harden) your configurations, and put together a report that you can turn into an updated playbook specific to your environments and use cases.

The attack scenarios and end-to-end projects include:

• IAM credentials exposure to S3 backdoor and data exfiltration
• IAM credentials exposure to EC2 cryptomining

The final section of the course then shows you how to take what you’ve learned and apply it to multi-account setups with centralized CloudTrail logging in a Log Archive account, and centralized IR querying with CloudTrail Lake in a Security Tooling account.

Description: Networking is easily one of the most commonly recommended topics to learn for anyone interested in being in an IT career, and so it's arguably one of the most important skills to build when starting out. Regardless of what job you end up choosing, having at least a foundational understanding of how data travels all around us is very beneficial. So in this course, we're going to learn just that starting with how data travels using physical connections. But physical connections alone aren't enough to make the internet work. We also need to answer questions like: how does data know exactly where to go? Say I'm sending an email to someone - how does that email know to go to that other person's inbox, and no one else's? Or even reading this right now. How did you receive this text and the images on this page that are stored in a different part of the world than where you're located? How does all of it transfer in seconds or even milliseconds? These are fascinating questions that can be answered once we understand how the physical and virtual backbone of the Internet works. Once we understand how human-readable information gets transformed into a format that machines can process, and then back into a human-readable format again. Once we understand how models and standards were created to dictate a set of rules for how devices should communicate. Once we look at all of that, and more, then we start to see how everything is interconnected and how the Internet is able to function the way it does. Join us as we unpack the mysteries of networking and learn Networking Fundamentals that you'll be able to carry with you throughout your entire IT career!

Learn hands-on how to exploit AWS cloud misconfigurations and build practical skills with step-by-step walkthroughs, labs, and CTFs. This course uses and teaches 4 primary tools:

• CloudGoat
• Pacu
• ChatGPT
• AWS CLI

CloudGoat enables you to deploy vulnerable-by-design AWS scenarios in your own environments, although we will be providing a couple of those scenarios as 1-click deploy 🧪 Cybr Hands-On Labs if you would rather not use your own environments. Not all of the scenarios will be available with our labs due to how vulnerable they are.

In addition to using the AWS command line interface (CLI), we’ll be using a cloud penetration testing tool called Pacu.

We will also be using ChatGPT by having it craft payloads, troubleshoot for us, and overall help us speed up and be more effective.

This course is primarily for individuals who want to perform security assessments of AWS environments and resources, or who want to learn what to do once they’ve gained access to a set of limited AWS credentials. There are a couple of scenarios that show how to gain initial access to credentials through misconfigurations, but this course is mostly focused on helping you find privilege escalation paths.

• What are IAM roles and how are they different from users?
• When should you use roles, and how?
• What are differences between trust policies, managed policies, and inline policies?
• What's an effective way to assume roles?
• How does role chaining work? How does cross-account access work?
• What is IAM Roles Anywhere and how does it work?
• What are service-linked roles, and how are they different from service roles?
• What are security implications of using roles?

In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to use Terraform to securely deploy resources on AWS using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Guided by instructors with experience running Terraform in production, we’ll take you step-by-step from zero prior Terraform knowledge to confidently writing infrastructure as code and deploying production-ready AWS resources securely.

Description: Learn how to use sqlmap in-depth for professional engagements like pentests or bug bounties. sqlmap is the most powerful and widely used SQL injection tool, and for good reason. It packs an impressive array of features and options specifically crafted to fingerprint, enumerate, and takeover databases as well as underlying systems. In this course, we take a look at all of that. We start by looking at the sqlmap project, including how the source code repository is structured, where to find important files such as configuration and payload files, and how to set up a home lab environment to safely and legally practice what we're learning. Then, we explore every single option that sqlmap offers with examples and explanations of how and when to use the option(s). We learn tips & tricks to see what sqlmap is doing under the hood and to troubleshoot when we come across issues. Once we've covered sqlmap's options and features, we tie it all together by running through scenarios. This is when we get to see how those options can be used together or on their own to achieve our pentest or bug bounty objectives. The course also includes sections dedicated to specific topics such as bypassing WAFs and evading security controls, and how to run sqlmap as an API.
