CFR 310 vs CompTIA CySA+

SIMON TAPLIN

I just saw the video Daniel did about the CFR 310 course on YouTube. Is this a similar course to the CompTIA CySA+? I did a quick Google search and the CFR 310 doesn't seem to be well known .

Greetings @SIMON-TAPLIN

Having taken both of these exams I'd say that there are some similarities and some differences. The CFR is geared more toward Incident Handling/ Response(IH/IR) and CySA+ is more of a general cybersecurity analyst cert, although there is a decently strong emphasis on IR in the course. At the end of the day, if you're looking to choose between the certs, I'd have to say CySA+ is a good cert and does have more recognition.

I hope that helps,

Cheers
Daniel

Thanks for the input Daniel. I did some basic searches and nobody really knows the CFR 310. I think I will be doing the SSCP instead of CFR 310.
