Defensive Security Course

What You Will Learn

In this course, you will gain comprehensive knowledge of defensive security principles, focusing on the core skills needed to operate within a Security Operations Centre (SOC) . You will learn about various security monitoring techniques, including the use of SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and log management. The course will cover incident detection and analysis, helping you understand how to identify signs of cyber threats and malicious activities. You will learn to respond to incidents, conduct forensic investigations and understand how to build an effective incident response plan. Additionally, the course includes a deep dive into threat intelligence, including identifying potential attackers and their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). You will also study network defence mechanisms, such as firewalls, VPNs, and access control, as well as vulnerability management and patching strategies. Finally, the course will introduce advance defensive techniques for securing cloud environments and handling the challenges posed by modern-day cyber threats.
