EXAM OVERVIEW

What is the CompTIA CySA+?

CompTIA CySA+ is the analyst-level certification for the defensive side of security: monitoring and detection, vulnerability management, incident response, and the reporting that turns findings into decisions. CS0-004 is the V4 revision of the exam — the one that brings AI security and SOAR into the objectives, where CS0-003 had neither.
