About this course
This course develops practical capability in SOC Analyst. Its course-specific content covers SOC workflows, Data interpretation, Investigation practice, Response communication, followed by an applied project focused on triage and document a simulated security alert queue. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with SOC Analyst or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of cybersecurity. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Triage and document a simulated security alert queue
Deliver triage and document a simulated security alert queue. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
