250-624 exam overview
The 250-624 exam leads to the Symantec CBX R1 Technical Specialist credential. It tests your understanding of the CBX platform and the security operations performed through the CBX Console.
CBX brings endpoint, network, and data telemetry into one console. Security teams can use that information to review alerts, investigate suspicious activity, apply security controls, and coordinate remediation without moving between several disconnected tools.
The exam is best suited to candidates who already understand basic security operations. You should be comfortable working with alerts, incidents, policies, telemetry, affected assets, and response actions.

Who should take 250-624?
The exam is a good fit for professionals who use Symantec CBX to monitor security activity, investigate threats, and manage response actions.
- Security operations center analysts
- Endpoint security administrators
- Threat detection analysts
- Incident response specialists
- Security engineers
- Symantec security consultants

General cybersecurity knowledge helps, but product familiarity matters more. Candidates should know how information moves from telemetry and alerts into investigations and remediation tasks inside the CBX Console.
250-624 exam objectives
| Objective | What to review |
| CBX Console and Unified Visibility | Console navigation, dashboards, security posture information, alerts, assets, and combined endpoint, network, and data visibility |
| Advanced Threat Detection and AI Correlation | Detection results, correlated activity, incident context, AI-assisted analysis, prioritization, and suspicious behavior |
| Hardening and Automated Policy Enforcement | Security policies, preventive controls, automated enforcement, policy changes, exceptions, and their operational effects |
| Raw Telemetry to Active Investigation | Telemetry filtering, alert review, investigation workflows, affected entities, incident scope, evidence, and remediation decisions |
Broadcom has not published percentage weights for these four objectives in the public certification catalog. Do not assume that each objective contributes exactly 25% of the exam.
Skills and technologies covered
- CBX Console navigation
- Unified endpoint, network, and data visibility
- Alert and incident review
- AI-assisted threat correlation
- Security hardening and policy enforcement
- Telemetry filtering and investigation
- Incident scope and affected asset analysis
- Response and remediation workflows
Preparation priorities
Start with the complete analyst workflow rather than memorizing individual menu names:
- Identify an alert or suspicious change in the CBX Console.
- Review the related endpoint, network, identity, or data activity.
- Use available context to determine the likely incident scope.
- Move the relevant evidence into an investigation.
- Select a policy change, containment action, or remediation step.
- Confirm the result and document the response.
When reviewing a feature, ask what information it provides, when an analyst would use it, and what action normally follows. This is more useful than learning definitions in isolation.
Common preparation mistakes
Memorizing the dashboard without following an incident
Knowing where a widget appears does not show that you can investigate a threat. Practice moving from an alert to its related entities, evidence, and response options.
Treating every AI result as a final decision
AI-generated summaries and correlations provide context, but analysts still need to check the underlying telemetry before choosing a response.
Confusing detection with remediation
Detection explains what the platform found. Remediation deals with what happens next. Keep alert review, investigation, containment, policy enforcement, and recovery as separate stages.
Ignoring the effect of a policy change
A technically valid policy can still affect legitimate users or business applications. Review policy scope, assigned groups, exceptions, and enforcement behavior.
Reading raw telemetry without forming a timeline
Individual events often look harmless. Sort activity by time and entity so you can see how a process, user, endpoint, or network connection relates to the wider incident.
