Course Description
The Certified SOC Analyst (C|SA) program is an essential stepping stone for individuals aspiring to join or advance within a Security Operations Center (SOC), focusing on its functions, development, and management.
The C|SA course provides training and certification in the fundamental principles and practices of security operations, threat intelligence, and incident response. It provides a deep understanding of the processes, technologies, and techniques used to detect, investigate, and respond to security threats.
The Certified SOC Analyst training program covers a range of topics, including common attack vectors, the use of security tools and technologies, security information and event management (SIEM), incident response processes, coordination, and the development of a SOC. Students gain proficiency in Centralized Log Management (CLM), incident triaging, recognition and investigation of indicators of compromise (IOCs) and the cyber kill chain, enabling them to respond proactively to potential threats. They also gain the ability to recognize emerging threat patterns, develop correlation rules, and create effective reports that help organizations maintain a robust security posture. Students also learn to leverage AI-enabled tools and platforms to enhance SIEM capabilities, behavior analytics, and alert prioritization, and automate threat detection and threat hunting using solutions like Splunk AI, Elastic AI, Copilot, ChatGPT, and PowerShell AI.
