Learn from a seasoned cybersecurity trainer to master security operations, incident response, security information and event management, security orchestration, automation and response, and cloud security.
Build a practical security operations center using open source tools like beats, logstash, elk stack, docker, hive, cortex, and misp for incident response and threat intelligence.
Gain hands-on experience configuring and deploying Elasticsearch, MISP, Cortex, and Hive, with labs on Docker compose, File beat, threat feeds, and AWS-based EC2 deployment.
Explore elastic stack basics—Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana—and learn how the SIEM solution searches, analyzes, and visualizes real-time log data with indexing, beats, and the Elastic Common Schema.
Explore the elk stack workflow—from filebeat data collection and logstash ingestion with geoip enrichment, to elasticsearch indexing across multiple nodes, and kibana dashboards with siem rules for security insights.
Explore containerization with Docker and Docker Compose to deploy Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana in isolated containers, and compare with virtual machines for efficient resource use.
Set up an AWS free tier account and explore EC2 compute options, IAM with MFA for the root user, and budgeting alerts to monitor costs and avoid charges.
Launch and configure an AWS EC2 Ubuntu server to host Elasticsearch, select instance type, storage, security settings, and key pairs for secure access, and review instance details.
Install and configure Elasticsearch on an EC2 instance with docker compose and a yaml configuration, including Kibana and enterprise search, using a single-node setup, networks, volumes, and secure access.
Learn to install and configure Filebeat on an ec2 linux instance, enable system logs, and ship logs to Elasticsearch with Kibana, using step-by-step guidance.
Explore misp, the open source malware information sharing platform, and learn how structured threat intelligence enables rapid sharing of hashes, IP addresses, URLs, and domain indicators for incident response.
Explore practical MISP deployment in the cloud, including a step-by-step ec2 ubuntu 22.04 setup with elasticsearch, secure https, and a first login to the misp console.
Learn how to enable, load, and fetch default and custom threat feeds in MISP, manage events, and view feed data from sources like Tor exit nodes and Malware Bazaar.
Learn to create and manage MISP events, enable feeds, add a threat feed with IOCs like hash values, IP addresses, and domains, and share with organization or community.
Explore how cortex, an open source security tool from The Hive project, automates analysis across VirusTotal and IP void to boost SOC response with API integrations and threat intel.
Case study shows how cortex automates analysis of suspicious IP alerts by cross-referencing threat intelligence feeds and internal logs, delivering a detailed report within a minute to speed SOC response.
Provision cortex on an Ubuntu 22.04 EC2 instance, install Java and Elasticsearch, configure the Elasticsearch YAML and application config with a secret key for secure access.
Install and configure the Cortex analyzer, verify Cortex is running, install dependencies and analyzers, update the application.config file with the correct analyzer path, and restart the service.
Install Hive on Ubuntu Linux with Java 8 and Cassandra on an EC2 instance; follow step-by-step setup, configure Cassandra YAML with the instance IP, and finalize Hive configuration.
Learn to install hive, troubleshoot setup, and ensure a successful run by adjusting permissions, editing the hive configuration and application config files, opening port 9000, and preparing for Elasticsearch integration.
Learn to integrate Hive with Elasticsearch by configuring stack management, licenses, and connectors, then link alerts via a webhook to Hive and test end-to-end ticket creation.
Integrate hive with cortex to streamline alert investigations and open threat intel analyses via API, enabling IP/URL/hash checks within hive.
Learn to set up and configure hive and cortex integration for a soc, enable VirusTotal analytics, manage api keys, and run observables to get threat reports.
Learn to integrate hive with misp through setup, authentication keys, and configuration, enabling bidirectional event and observable sharing for incident analysis.
