Become a Professional SOC Analyst Level 2 — Master DFIR, Threat Hunting, and SIEM Operations
This course is designed to help cybersecurity professionals and students advance from SOC Tier 1 to Tier 2 level by mastering real-world investigation techniques.
You’ll start by learning Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) fundamentals — including disk imaging, memory forensics, and evidence analysis using FTK Imager, Autopsy, and Volatility 3.
Then, you’ll move into Network Forensics, where you’ll analyze packet captures with Wireshark, Zeek, Brim, and Network Miner to detect malicious activities and data exfiltration.
The course also covers Threat Hunting using the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, and you’ll practice building hypotheses, correlating logs, and identifying attacker techniques within Splunk and QRadar SIEM platforms.
Finally, you’ll complete a Capstone Project that simulates a real cyber incident — combining DFIR, Threat Intelligence, and SIEM analysis into a professional incident report.
Whether you’re a cybersecurity student, SOC analyst, or IT engineer exploring blue team operations, this course provides the hands-on skills, structured workflows, and professional mindset you need to excel in any Security Operations Center.
Tools Used: FTK Imager, Autopsy, Volatility, Wireshark, Zeek, Brim, Network Miner, Splunk, QRadar, MISP, and OpenCTI.
