How Our CySA+ Boot Camp Prepares You
Train for CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-004), the analyst certification that sits between Security+ and SecurityX. Four days on security operations, vulnerability management and incident response, with an exam voucher and pass guarantee.
CS0-004 replaced CS0-003 on 23 June 2026, and the older version retires on 22 December 2026. This boot camp is built against CS0-004, so what you practise in class is what you sit.
Security Operations alone is 34% of the exam, which is why it spans the first two days here rather than getting a single block. Vulnerability management takes day three, incident response and reporting take day four.

What Are the CySA+ Prerequisites?
CompTIA recommends about four years in a SOC analyst or vulnerability analyst role before sitting CS0-004. Nothing is mandatory, so you can book the exam without holding Security+ first. Be honest with yourself about the gap though: the exam hands you log output and packet captures and expects you to read them without help, and that is a habit built at a console rather than in a classroom.
What Does the CySA+ Exam Cover?
Our boot camp aligns to the CS0-004 exam blueprint so every topic maps to what is tested.
If preparation time is short, spend it on Security Operations. At 34% it is the largest single domain, and it carries most of what the exam asks you to interpret rather than recall.
What Is the CySA+ Exam Format?
Your enrollment includes an exam voucher. Here is what to expect on exam day.
Training a team of five or more?
Private onsite delivery, custom schedules, and volume pricing. We bring the boot camp to your office or run it dedicated for your team online.
Need a training day package?
DoD 8140 aligned, with flexible day packages for federal, state, and local agencies. Quotes within one business day.
Frequently Asked Questions About CySA+ Certification
For an analyst, yes. CySA+ fills the gap between Security+ and the expert tier, and it is approved under DoDM 8140.03, which matters if you work for a federal agency or a defense contractor. It is a poor fit if you are heading toward architecture or management rather than hands-on operations, where SecurityX or CISM does more for you.
CS0-004 launched on 23 June 2026 and is the current version. CS0-003 retires in English on 22 December 2026. The four domains keep their names but the weights and objectives were revised, with more emphasis on cloud and hybrid operations and on AI. Anyone testing from here on should prepare for CS0-004, and this boot camp is built against it.
With this boot camp you prepare in 4 days of focused, instructor-led training rather than the months self-study usually takes. The accelerated format works because it follows the exam objectives in a structured sequence, includes hands-on labs, and bundles an exam voucher so you can test while the material is fresh.
CompTIA recommends about four years in a SOC analyst or vulnerability analyst role. There is no mandatory prerequisite and no requirement to hold Security+ first, but the exam assumes you can read log output and packet captures without prompting.
Yes. CompTIA lists CySA+ among its certifications approved under DoDM 8140.03 for cyber workforce roles. The qualification matrix is refreshed quarterly, so confirm the current work role mapping with your agency or contracting officer before you rely on it for a specific billet.
Our Exam Pass Guarantee covers your second attempt at no charge, and you can re-sit the boot camp free for up to one year from your enrollment date. The guarantee exists so a single unsuccessful attempt never becomes a financial barrier to getting certified.
Yes. Every enrollment includes a voucher covering the full cost of the CS0-004 exam, along with official courseware, practice materials, and hands-on labs.
ExamNav’s CySA+ boot camp is $2,795 for four days of live, instructor-led training. That price includes official courseware, the exam voucher, hands-on labs, unlimited practice exams, a pre-study learning path, and instructor support after class. It also carries our Exam Pass Guarantee: if you don’t pass on the first attempt, your second exam is on us.
Typical students are SOC Analysts, Vulnerability Analysts, Threat Intelligence Analysts, and Incident Response Analysts, along with people moving into those roles. If you need CySA+ to qualify for a job, meet a contract or compliance requirement, or step up to a more senior role, this course is built for you.
Yes. Every CySA+ class on our schedule is taught live online by an instructor, starting at 9:00am Eastern each day for four days. You attend in real time, ask questions, and work through the labs as you go. It is not a recorded course.
The CySA+ (CS0-004) exam has a maximum of 85 questions over 165 minutes. You need 750 on a scale of 100 to 900 to pass, and the certification is valid for three years.
CompTIA’s current exam outline for CySA+ has four domains: Security Operations (34%), Vulnerability Management (26%), Incident Response and Management (24%), and Reporting and Communication (16%). Our course outline follows the same domains, so your study time goes where the exam puts its weight.
