Episode 117: Domain 4 Overview – Reporting and Communication in Cybersecurity
Welcome to Domain 4 of the CySA+ PrepCast. In this episode, we introduce the principles of reporting and communication—critical soft skills that define how technical findings are translated into business decisions. You’ll learn why analysts must be effective communicators, how reporting ties into regulatory requirements, and what makes security metrics meaningful to leadership and auditors.
We’ll also preview the structure of the domain: vulnerability management reporting, compliance communication, incident escalation, stakeholder coordination, and KPI interpretation. This domain may be the least technical on the surface, but it’s one of the most important for career success. Clear communication builds trust, drives action, and proves the value of your work—this episode sets the tone for mastering it. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
