Compliance and assessment

- We invest tremendous amounts of time and money building strong security controls, and it's important that as cybersecurity analysts, we routinely verify that those controls are functioning properly and achieving our security objectives. That's the role of assessment, a critical component of cybersecurity programs. In addition to our own internal assessments, we often face regulatory requirements imposed upon us by governments and other regulatory bodies. As cybersecurity analysts, we must understand the importance of protecting data privacy and know how to apply security concepts in support of organizational risk mitigation. We must also understand the role that security and privacy frameworks, policies, procedures and controls play in our environment. Businesses in all industries need skilled cybersecurity analysts who understand compliance and assessment. CompTIA's Cyber Security Analyst Plus or CySA+ certification is a path that many technologists follow to advance their careers in this high-demand field. Hi, I'm Mike Chapple, and I'd like to invite you to watch my course on compliance and assessment. It's part of an eight-course series preparing you for CySA+ exam. I hope that you'll join me as we explore this important aspect of our field.
