Course Description

Last Updated: March 2021

This course is all about working in a security operations center (SOC). It is designed to produce SOC analysts with excellent understanding of cyber security essentials, technology solutions, security operations, and incident response. Upon completion, learners will be capable of hitting the ground running from day 1 on the job. Additionally, learners will gain an excellent understanding of common tools, people and operational processes and procedures that make a value delivering SOC function effectively. The door to the SOC is ever revolving therefore SOC analysts will always be in high demand. This training is guaranteed to equip learners with everything required to work as an entry level SOC analyst who will be capable of giving intermediate analysts a run for their money.

The SOC has become one of the most important cyber defense capabilities in enterprise environment today. A key tenet of cyber security is prevention is ideal, but detection is a must, which means that where you're not able to prevent an adversary from breaching your defensive layers, detecting their presence in your environment in a timely manner is crucial. It is for this reason that organizations are constantly in the hunt for SOC analysts. As of March 2021, there were approximately 2,500 vacant SOC analyst job positions across the United States (source: LinkedIn), which is a clear indication that those with the requisite skill set will always  be in a job.

This course covers technology solutions and their respective vendors across multiple cyber defense domains, therefore learners are going to gain an excellent understanding of security products that are typically leveraged in enterprise environments, such that they are able to have meaningful conversations with potential employers.

By the time students get to the security operations and incident response section of the course, they would appreciate why it was important to build the necessary foundational knowledge of security technologies. This is because the main tool used in the SOC (i.e. the SIEM) relies on all these other security technologies to deliver value. As a SOC analyst, you want your SIEM tool to give you that much needed situational awareness of security events that are unfolding on the network, therefore, you need the various sources of security events to push logs to your SIEM tool for analysis, correlation and alerting.

The course is packed with a lot of relevant and realistic information and scenarios, so be rest assured that you're going to get the full value for your money!

I found the delivery method a little challenging to follow. I had to rewind, and review quite a few times throughout. The content was very good, but I feel there could have been more concrete definitions on the slides, accompanied by simple definitions. Overall I feel I learned a lot.

By Ayotomiwa Ogunniran on 7/20/2021

This course is highly recommended if you are aspiring to work in a SOC. This course will not only teach you what you need to know about working as a Security Analyst, but you will learn and understand Security solutions, Security events, and what you should look out for in your day to day activity as a Security Analyst. The career progression advice and general knowledge about what a SOC entails will do your career a world of good. Amazing experience

By Prathish G on 6/9/2021

The course is a good refresher for cyber security professionals who want to refresh the other domains of security. And a good starter for people new to security. Lot of details where given on the corporate standards and BAU activities of a security analyst. Very well compiled and infographics are useful.

By René Thibault on 12/23/2020

The content of the course is really good. I learned a lot and I'm glad I took it. The downside that justifies the rating is mainly the editing of the course / slides. In some instances, phrases are literally repeated seconds apart, some slides finish really abruptly, slides are part on another more complete training and were copied as is without editing (i.e.: they reference material that is not in the training). I recommend the course, but I would also recommend some editing so that the quality of the presentation equals the quality of its content.

By Richard Chetory on 12/6/2020

It is hard to understand the speaker because his accent is special. Even though I am lost bilingual, I have a hard time understanding the whole videos. But I've learned a lot of useful things, I would have loved to ahve more on use case development, and soc governance templates. And a copy of the slide to be able to review the course on my sofa...

By William MBA on 12/3/2020

The course provided me with a sense of direction based on the number of IT certifications in my possession. All sections are eloquently explained and recommendations spot on. Now, I feel so encouraged after studying both AWS and Cyber security courses by myself for a career changed. Thank u for putting this course together.

By Georgiana BUD on 3/24/2020

The course was really nice, in so few time there were so many concepts being introduced and also well explained! The course is a perfect starting point for those who want to deepen their knowledge about cybersecurity concepts, operations and roles.

By Mike O'Leary on 7/13/2019

If you are standing up your own SOC or managing an existing SOC, I'm sure you will take away many valuable tips and bits of information that will help make your life easier. The course presenter appears very knowledgeable about this subject. Note: The lecturer has a strong accent which may be difficult for some to deal with. I adjusted quickly to the accent and seldom needed to replay parts of the lecture.

By Joseph Townsend on 6/7/2019

Good course overall. Very detailed and I liked the inclusion of typical products & companies related each topic, but: 1) Section 1.11: The incorrect video plays 2) I messaged the instructor about this issue but have not received any response. If it were not for these two points I may have given 5 stars.

By Mrs Osindero on 4/16/2019

So far, this course has been an exceptional match for me. It opens up and provides details on various aspects of security operations, cyber security and an overview of identity and access management that only the professionals tend to have insight into. The explanations are great and as a visual person, the diagrams are easy to follow and to understand too. I look forward to the follow up modules from this presenter. Great job
