Track 1: Security Operations 101

The Security Operations 101 Track is an entry-level program designed to introduce participants to the essential concepts, tools, and practices that underpin modern security operations (SecOps). This hands-on training program is ideal for individuals seeking a foundational understanding of how cybersecurity operations teams monitor, detect, and respond to security threats in real-time. The apprenticeship emphasizes practical experience with industry-standard security tools and techniques, preparing participants to contribute effectively to a Security Operations Center (SOC).

    • Security Monitoring & Detection: Learn the fundamentals of monitoring network and system activities for potential security incidents using tools such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and log analysis.

    • Incident Response: Understand the incident response lifecycle, including preparation, detection, containment, eradication, and recovery. Gain experience in responding to common security incidents such as malware infections, phishing attacks, and data breaches.

    • Threat Intelligence: Learn how to collect, analyze, and utilize threat intelligence to anticipate and mitigate cyber threats. Understand how to integrate threat feeds into security operations to improve detection and response capabilities.

    • Vulnerability Management: Get hands-on experience in identifying and managing vulnerabilities through tools like vulnerability scanners (Nessus, Qualys) and learn best practices for patch management, vulnerability prioritization, and remediation.

    • SOC Processes & Procedures: Understand how Security Operations Centers (SOCs) function, including workflows, roles, and the importance of 24/7 monitoring. Learn how to work within a SOC environment, including daily tasks such as monitoring alerts, investigating incidents, and reporting on security events.

    • Real-World Scenarios: Engage in simulated attack scenarios to practice security monitoring and incident response in a controlled environment. These exercises provide invaluable experience in applying theoretical knowledge to real-world threats.

    • Tool Mastery: Gain hands-on experience with industry-standard security tools, including SIEM platforms (Splunk, QRadar, Elastic), endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, and firewall/IDS/IPS technologies. Learn to configure, monitor, and manage these tools in a production-like environment.
