Certaining Cybersecurity Fundamentals (CCYF) is a certification that an IT professional is well-versed in the basics of cybersecurity principles and threat awareness. This beginner-level cybersecurity certificate is meant for IT professionals who are starting in the information security domain. The CCYF certificate ensures that the candidates achieve a good understanding of the essential parts of cybersecurity without requiring them to be hardcore coders or have advanced technical skills. This credential adds up the first principles of safety in software, be it a threat landscape or risk trend, whether by following compliance frameworks or secure cloud practices.

Certaining’s Cybersecurity Fundamentals certification is compatible with international standards, for instance, ISO/IEC 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), and CIS Critical Security Controls. As a result, it offers an initial point to comprehend how vital cybersecurity is in IT operations and enterprise digital systems. This certificate helps candidates connect IT knowledge and the skillset of the cybersecurity domain. It enables professionals to become part of the secure working infrastructure. Perhaps it equips them with the necessary skills for further certifications in the Certaining Cybersecurity series.

The Certaining Cybersecurity Practitioner (CCYP) demonstrates the working knowledge of cybersecurity in areas of monitoring, identification of threats, and incident response activities. The CCYP certified professional possesses knowledge of the foundation of cybersecurity and can apply the skills learned to protect the digital infrastructure of an organization. The candidates are tested for their ability to work on and configure systems, and monitor systems.

CCYP is formulated according to the international standards such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF 2.0), ISO/IEC 27002: 2022, and CIS Critical Security Controls v8. Domains covered are– Security Operations (SOC), Threat Hunting, Advanced IAM, and Incident Response. CCYP is the link that connects the Base Literacy (CCYF) and the Mastery of Enterprise-Scale Security (CCYL). It equips candidates with the necessary knowledge and skills for such positions as SOC analyst, security engineer, and incident responder.

The Certaining Cybersecurity Leader (CCYL) validates advanced defense, architecture, and governance in the cybersecurity domain. It is the highest credential in the cybersecurity series. CCYL certification exhibits technical and strategic knowledge in the cybersecurity domain. Among other things, it prepares professionals for the secure design and operation of infrastructures spanning cloud, hybrid, and on-premises systems.

IT professionals validate the skills necessary to effectively use Zero Trust technology, automate, and make the system resilient against attackers. Moreover, they practice compliance, governance, and risk management at a very high level, as in global corporations. The CCYL is up to date with the industry trends such as AI-driven threats, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and complex compliance mandates.





Career Prospects

  • Security Analyst – The security analyst is the key to security by indefatigably tracking everything from networks, systems, and applications for weak points and potential dangers. Incidents must be handled swiftly, and security protocols must be maintained at all times. Work closely with other departments to not only raise but also maintain the level of your IT defense strategies.
  • Cybersecurity Engineer – The Cybersecurity engineer plans, constructs, and takes care of the safety of secure system architectures, whether they be networks or applications. A thorough risk assessment, along with proper security standards compliance, is a way that they conduct their activities. In general, they are updating their defenses constantly to be able to repel all the new cyber threats.
  • Cloud Security Specialist – A Cloud Security specialist is a person who is assigned to make sure that the applications, infrastructure, and data being hosted in the cloud are secure, through the process of configuring and monitoring the security. The main roles and responsibilities closely connected with cloud environments are access controls, encryption, and ultimately, compliance. A cloud deployment is supposed to be the reason for customer assurance with their business continuity and data privacy.
  • Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst – The work of a security operations center analyst is to detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents within the SOC. What he does is not only monitoring alerts but also doing deep research into anomalies and allocating threats in the right way. By providing actionable insights to organizations, they can increase their security postures.
  • Penetration Tester / Ethical Hacker – Penetration testers or Ethical hackers are the people who act as the attackers for the purpose of finding the weak spots of the systems and networks. They look for possible ways to exploit a system and, thinking along with them, give recommendations that include implementations of other precautions and strengthening of defenses. One of the ways to do this is the unethical way – by working closely with the IT team.
  • Cybersecurity Architect – Create and implement the off-the-shelf security strategies, frameworks, and architecture standards for the whole corporation. Secure the introduction of the comprehensive security solutions with all the departments involved. Take a look at new technologies and evaluate their benefits for organizational security.
  • Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Manager – Manage the entire process that includes regulatory requirements, risk management, and compliance programs. Manage the risk of your organization going beyond legal boundaries and ensure that it follows the rules. Suggest to the top management the best practices in governance and control.
