Cisco CCNA Cybersecurity 200-201 Certification Training Course
We'll get you ready for the Cisco CCNA Cybersecurity (200-201 CBROPS) exam, the associate level credential for SOC analysts.
Course focus: Security concepts, security monitoring, host-based analysis, network intrusion analysis, and security policies and procedures.
Course Overview
What the CCNA Cybersecurity course covers and who it's for.
CCNA Cybersecurity is the new name for Cisco CyberOps Associate. Cisco renamed it on February 3, 2026, and the exam content didn't change. If you hold CyberOps Associate, it counts the same.
We follow the five domains in the official 200-201 v1.2 exam topics. Security Monitoring is the largest at 25%, so we spend extra time reading alerts and logs the way a SOC analyst does.
Instructor-led classes with hands-on labs and practice questions.
Accumentum is an independent training provider and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Cisco. Cisco sets exam content, prices and policies, so check cisco.com before you book.
