SOC Foundations for Federal Cyber Defense and Operations Course

via Graduate School USA

Overview

This course readies analysts to work effectively inside a federal Security Operations Center. It serves both people new to SOC work and analysts already doing the job who want to firm up the federal standards and terminology behind their daily practice. What separates it from generic SOC training is that every operational topic — log collection, continuous monitoring, detection engineering, incident response — is grounded in the statutes, policy memoranda, and technical standards that actually govern federal cyber defense.

Sessions are led live by an instructor, so participants can raise agency-specific questions against each requirement as it comes up.
