What You'll Learn

SOC Foundations & Operations
How a Security Operations Center is structured across Tier 1, 2, and 3 analysts, and the alert-to-escalation workflow. The role of people, process, and technology, and core concepts like true positive, false positive, and alert fatigue. Introduction to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and the Cyber Kill Chain as triage reference models. How SLAs, playbooks, and shift handovers keep a SOC running.
Logging, SIEM & Data Sources
Understanding Windows Event Logs, Sysmon, firewall, proxy, and DNS logs as investigation sources. Hands-on with Splunk and the Elastic Stack: ingesting data, writing searches, and building correlation rules. Normalization, parsing, and why timestamps and time zones matter in an investigation. Writing SPL and KQL queries to pivot from a single indicator to the full scope of activity.
Network Traffic Analysis
Reading packet captures in Wireshark and spotting anomalies in protocols like HTTP, DNS, and TLS. Using Zeek and Suricata IDS alerts to detect scanning, beaconing, and exfiltration. Identifying command-and-control patterns, including suspicious JA3 fingerprints and DNS tunneling. Correlating network evidence with host logs to confirm or dismiss an alert.
Endpoint Detection & Malware Triage
Investigating endpoint telemetry with EDR tooling and Sysmon process-creation events. Analyzing suspicious PowerShell, LOLBins, persistence mechanisms, and privilege escalation. Static and dynamic triage of suspicious files using VirusTotal, hashing, and sandbox detonation. Mapping endpoint findings to ATT&CK techniques such as T1059 and T1547.
Phishing & Threat Intelligence
Analyzing phishing emails: headers, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, URLs, and malicious attachments. Extracting and enriching indicators of compromise using threat-intelligence platforms like MISP and OpenCTI. Understanding the Pyramid of Pain and how different IOCs vary in value to defenders. Turning an intel report into detection logic and watchlists.
Incident Investigation & Reporting
Running a full investigation from initial alert to documented conclusion using a repeatable methodology. Scoping an incident, building a timeline, and determining impact and root cause. Writing clear, analyst-grade incident reports and escalation notes for Tier 2. Capstone: investigate and document a set of realistic alerts to build your portfolio.

Mapping every alert back to MITRE ATT&CK finally made detection click for me. The phishing and EDR modules were incredibly practical.

Threat Monitoring Analyst
★★★★★

Coming from a non-technical background, the structured route kept me from feeling lost. By week six I was writing proper incident reports.

Vignesh Raman
