Advanced security operations expertise

The CyberOps Professional 350-201 prepares senior analysts and engineers for leadership in security operations. It covers the full investigation lifecycle from threat intelligence through malware analysis, vulnerability triage, and security automation.

Playbooks, compliance frameworks, and risk analysis

Hardening, DLP, UEBA, and Threat Intelligence Platforms

Malware analysis, IOC extraction, and threat modeling

Python scripting, REST APIs, and security automation

Advanced SOC Skills

Take your security operations to the next level

This professional-level certification pushes beyond detection into deep investigation, automation, and strategic security operations — the skills that separate analysts from security leaders.

Playbooks & Compliance

Apply incident response playbooks across common attack scenarios and map to compliance frameworks.

Malware Analysis

Perform static and dynamic malware analysis, use sandbox environments, and extract IOCs.

Threat Intelligence

Leverage Threat Intelligence Platforms, correlate TTPs, and automate intel-driven detection.

DLP & UEBA

Implement data loss prevention across endpoints, network, cloud, and detect anomalous user behavior.

Security Automation

Write Python scripts, consume REST APIs, and use CI/CD and IaC to automate SOC workflows.

Vulnerability Triage

Score and prioritize vulnerabilities using CVSS, recommend mitigation, and manage risk exposure.

Exam Blueprint

Four domains. Complete professional-level coverage.

The curriculum covers every domain in the CBRCOR blueprint, with deep focus on the high-weight Techniques and Processes domains that drive real investigation work.
