I’ve been using uCertify to study for CompTIA’s CySA+ and I must say it had so many features I haven’t even gotten around to try them all. There’s virtual flash cards, pra...ctice tests, and even a virtual lab. The virtual lab actually allows you to get the hand on experience you may not need to actually pass the exam but will certainly be valuable on the job. If you have never worked vulnerability management tools outside of a learning environment, this could definitely give you the boost needed. It will even let you know when you have done the task correctly or not almost immediately.

I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to review uCertify's CompTIA CySA+ Full Course & Labs which I'm currently interested in. I was really impressed with the courseware... content. The 13 Chapter and Lessons which In my opinion very much inlined with the CompTIA CySA+ Certification Exam Objectives. The topics are well-defined and at the end of each section "Exam Essentials" are highlighted which is very useful when reviewing the key concepts.
