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.
