Course Details
Course Overview
The Threat Hunting & Incident Response training course is designed to equip you with the skills required to defend modern enterprise infrastructures. Attackers are becoming more stealthy, bypassing standard antivirus software. This course teaches you how to actively hunt down hidden adversaries.
Active Defense Methodology
Modern defense is not passive. Threat hunting is a proactive approach to search for cyber threats that reside undetected in a network. You will adopt the mindset of an active hunter, utilizing indicators of compromise (IOCs) and indicators of behavior (IOBs) to secure systems.
What Makes This Training Unique?
- Enterprise-Grade SIEM: Analyze real logs from an active directory domain with thousands of endpoints.
- Forensic Deep Dive: Learn how to extract indicators from raw memory captures, not just log reports.
- Incident Playbooks: Gain templates for standard incident response processes that you can adapt for your employer.
