Beta Testers Sought for Revised CompTIA Cybersecurity-Analyst Exam

CompTIA seeks beta testers for its revised certification exam for cybersecurity analysts, said the association Thursday. The revised exam, scheduled to launch Q2, will increase the emphasis on software security and other areas “that have become increasingly critical to cyber defense,” it said. The “proliferation” of IoT devices and cloud-computing options has “resulted in a greater demand for incident response skills,” and those, too, will be tested with the new exam, it said. Beta-testing candidates should have at least four years of “hands-on information security or related experience,” said CompTIA.
