Overview

This program equips SOC analysts, incident responders, forensic investigators, and security operations professionals with the operational frameworks and investigative skills required to detect, analyze, contain, and recover from cybersecurity incidents. You will begin by exploring security monitoring principles, SIEM correlation workflows, and endpoint telemetry analysis to transform alerts into structured investigations. Through applied demonstrations, you will learn how to differentiate baseline activity from malicious behavior and interpret abnormal network patterns. Building on monitoring foundations, you will analyze denial-of-service and distributed denial-of-service attack patterns using packet capture tools such as Wireshark. You will investigate traffic anomalies, identify flooding behavior, and apply mitigation strategies to protect network availability. Next, the program advances into structured incident response planning. You will examine incident lifecycle stages, define roles and responsibilities, classify and prioritize incidents, and develop coordinated response playbooks. Through readiness simulations and structured exercises, you will learn how effective planning reduces response time and improves accountability. The course then introduces digital forensic principles, including evidence integrity, log and file analysis, timeline reconstruction, and memory capture simulations. You will learn how to document investigations, preserve evidence, and reconstruct events to support defensible reporting. Finally, you will integrate detection, response, forensic analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery processes in an end-to-end incident simulation project, demonstrating full lifecycle incident management aligned with enterprise standards. By the end of this program, you will be able to: -Apply SIEM correlation and endpoint monitoring techniques. -Detect and analyze DoS and DDoS attack patterns. -Structure incident classification and prioritization workflows. -Develop and test incident response procedures and playbooks. -Conduct forensic log and artifact analysis with proper documentation. -Implement containment and eradication strategies. -Validate recovery processes and measure resilience improvements. -Execute full lifecycle incident response operations. This course is designed for SOC analysts, blue-team defenders, cybersecurity engineers, forensic practitioners, and security operations professionals seeking structured incident handling expertise. Join us to develop the operational readiness, investigative precision, and resilience-building capabilities required to manage real-world cyber incidents effectively.

Syllabus

Monitoring, SIEM and DoS Detection

Apply SIEM correlation and network traffic analysis to detect security incidents and identify abnormal behavior. Learn to distinguish baseline activity from attacks and mitigate DoS and DDoS threats using structured detection and response techniques.

Incident Response Foundations and Forensic Readiness

Apply structured incident response principles to manage real-world security incidents from detection through recovery. Learn how to define roles and responsibilities, prioritize incidents based on impact and severity, and execute coordinated response actions. Develop and test incident response procedures and playbooks, while performing forensic-ready documentation and evidence handling to support effective investigations and organizational readiness

Incident Containment, Eradication and Recovery

Implement structured containment, eradication, and recovery strategies to manage active security incidents and restore affected systems. Learn how to isolate compromised hosts to limit attacker movement, remove malicious artifacts, and validate system integrity before returning services to operation. Evaluate post-incident lessons learned and operational metrics to improve response effectiveness, strengthen defenses, and enhance long-term organizational resilience.
