Thanks for checking out my AlienVault course! This course is getting a bit outdated. You will get a lot more out of my new course here: https://www.udemy[.]com/course/detection-engineering-masterclass-part-1/?referralCode=FE6EF7B50369EABD9D7D
Excerpt from that course description: "This course will first teach the theory behind security operations and detection engineering. We’ll then start building out our home lab using VirtualBox and Elastic’s security offering. Then we’ll run through three different attack scenarios, each more complex than the one prior. We’ll make detections off of our attacks, and learn how to document our detections. Next we’ll dive more into coding and Python by writing validation scripts and learning out to interact with Elastic through their API. Wrapping everything up, we’ll host all our detections on GitHub and sync with Elastic through our own GitHub Action automations. As a cherry on top, we’ll have a final section on how to write scripts to gather important metrics and visualizations."

My name is Anthony Isherwood. I am a seasoned security professional with past roles in incident response, vulnerability management, SIEM engineering, security architecture, SOC coaching, and consulting. I currently enjoy working as Lead Detection Engineer for a large media company, focusing on detection creation, automation, and adversary emulation.
I have taken red team courses and certs such as TCM's own Practical Ethical Hacking course, VirtualHackingLabs, and obtained the OSCP. In addtion, I also obtained the GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware GREM certification and have a couple lapsed Comptia certs such as the Security+ and CySA+.
I truly love this field! My goal is to enable others to accelerate their growth and enjoy the field as much as I do.
Outside of my professional work, I enjoy lifting in my home gym or playing some games to unwind at night. I have a beautiful family, a wife and son, who always drive me to be the best version of myself I can be. A special shoutout to my wife, who shouldered extra responsibility as I was developing and creating this course!
