Course Overview

The Performing CyberOps Using Core Security Technologies (CBRCOR) course by Cisco is designed for cybersecurity professionals preparing for the 350-201 CBRCOR exam, which leads to the Cisco Certified Specialist – Cybersecurity Core certification and fulfills the core requirement for the Cisco Certified Cybersecurity Professional certification. This advanced training targets roles such as Security Analyst, Incident Responder, and Threat Hunter within Security Operations Centers (SOCs), equipping learners with the skills to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats effectively. With global demand for SOC analysts rising—Glassdoor reports an average salary of $100,072 in the U.S.—this course meets the growing need for skilled professionals who can manage real-time security operations using structured playbooks and automated workflows.

Students engage with key Cisco and third-party security platforms including Cisco XDR, Cisco Firepower NGFW, Splunk Phantom, ThreatConnect Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP), and Cisco Secure Malware Analytics. Through hands-on labs in a simulated enterprise environment, learners configure access control policies, analyze packet captures (PCAP), reverse engineer malware, and validate attacks using MITRE ATT&CK® frameworks. A critical component of the course involves fixing Python API scripts and creating Bash scripts to automate security tasks, reinforcing SecDevOps and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) practices. One culminating lab requires students to conduct a full incident investigation—tracking Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), identifying Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and executing a coordinated response—mirroring real-world SOC operations.

By completing the Performing CyberOps Using Core Security Technologies (CBRCOR) course, candidates gain industry-recognized credentials aligned with the Cisco Certified Cybersecurity Professional certification, a credential increasingly valued by enterprises and government agencies alike. Certified professionals can expect strong career advancement, with roles like SOC Manager averaging $120,000 annually in the U.S. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Cisco courseware, and access to expert-led, 1-on-1 training, ensuring learners master both exam content and practical skills. Graduates are well-positioned to lead threat response initiatives, improve organizational security posture, and advance into senior cybersecurity operations roles in an evolving threat landscape.
