Follow the NIST incident response process from preparation through post-incident activity, outlining detection and analysis, containment and eradication, and recovery steps for SOCs.
Blue teams monitor, respond, and hunt threats with edr, xdr, siem, and soar. Red teams test vulnerabilities and simulate adversaries, while purple teaming unites them to strengthen security posture.
Define cyber threats with the NIST definition: any incident that could impact operations, assets, or individuals through an information system, including unauthorized access, destruction, disclosure, modification, or denial of service.
Explore threat informed defense by aligning cyber threat intelligence with your mission, identifying threat actors, motivations, and TTPs, and strengthening detection and protection.
Learn to distinguish indicators of compromise and indicators of attack, where IOCs detect artifacts like file hashes and domains, while IoAs analyze attacker behavior and intent to drive threat-informed defense.
Explore enterprise paid tools, open-source osint, and social media as CTI sources, using Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence, CrowdStrike, VirusTotal, Shodan, and social platforms for IOCs and TTPs.
Explore how cloud computing relies on five properties: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service, enabling fast provisioning, scalable resources, and usage-based billing.
Demystify the relationship between Entra ID tenants and Azure subscriptions by showing that tenants are identity providers. Subscriptions host Azure resources, and avoid the misconception that subscriptions are tenants.
Zero trust is a security strategy and mindset, not a single product. It enforces explicit verification, least-privileged access, just-in-time access, and assume breach to minimize blast radius.
Defend the classic attack chain from phishing to data exfiltration using defender for office, defender for endpoint, defender for identity protection, and defender for cloud apps.
Explore how the middle attack framework’s 201 techniques map to tactics, with examples like active scanning, scheduled tasks, masquerading, brute force, account discovery via PowerShell, and encrypted C2 channel.
Identify key data sources to collect telemetry and support detecting adversary activity, including network traffic, web application firewall logs, and on-premises network logs, aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Learn how mitigations use preventative configurations to reduce the attack surface, minimize data exposure, and prioritize upfront controls over detections, including privileged account management for escalation threats.
Learn how to get a Microsoft 365 E5 trial license and assign it to a user to enable Defender XDR features.
Install the tor browser on kali with sudo apt update and sudo apt install -y tor, then launch tor browser launcher to download and verify the signature for defender testing.
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
