CompTIA CySA+ analyst mentorship — cohort 1
Get your CompTIA CySA+ certification
Advance your security career
Program Starts 10 August, 2026
If you have already been working in technology and want to pass the exam on the first try, then this mentor program is meant for you. You will go from start to finish in 10 weeks on the newest version of the CompTIA CySA+ exam (CS0-004).
You will be guided along the way by an active security practitioner who has hunted the adversary, analyzed 100s of intrusions, and broken through security defenses as a penetration tester.
This isn’t just about passing an exam. It’s about growing your skills for today and your future.
Seats are limited in the first cohort
THE PROBLEM
Your time is limited and self-study is easy to skip.
It’s too easy to delay studying for the exam with the demands of work and home. Trying to stay focused and study consistently is a nightmare. What’s worse is that certification books can’t fully explain a concept or technology, much less cover how it’s used in the field. Who can you ask questions when you need help?
The problem isn’t a lack of content. It’s having a mentor to keep you on track and help you pass the exam.
What you get beyond certification prep
Having a successful career is not just about technical skills and earning qualifications. It’s also about working with others and moving your career in the direction you want it to go.
In the program, you’ll learn how to:
- Skip the résumé pile and get hired the way nearly every good job actually fills — through relationships
- Use writing, speaking, or building a tool to stand out before you’re ever in the room
- Communicate with senior leadership in a way that helps them and you
- Stay credible when something goes wrong and the pressure is on
