Course Abstract:
Forensics and Incident Handling are constantly evolving and crucial topics in the area of cybersecurity. In order to stay on top of the attackers, the knowledge of Individuals and Teams responsible for collecting digital evidences and handling the incidents has to be constantly enhanced and updated.
This is a deep dive course on security operations: vulnerability management, anomalies detection, the discovery of industry attacks and threats, understanding how compromised system or solution looks like, defining the indicators of the attack, incident handling also daily servicing on SIEM platform. We will also walk through the advanced access rights, password mechanisms, windows internals, PowerShell usage for security purposes, gaining unauthorized access, advanced DNS configuration and common configuration mistakes, forensics techniques, Active Directory security, IIS Security, debugging, advanced monitoring and troubleshooting and much more! Topics covered during this training will help you to walk in hackers' shoes and evaluate your infrastructure from their point of view.
This course is based on practical knowledge from tons of successful projects, many years of real-world experience and no mercy for misconfigurations or insecure solutions!
Our training is designed to equip you with practical skills and knowledge to detect, respond to, and resolve computer security incidents. Here are three key takeaways:
- Master the incident handling process: Learn the essential steps involved in incident handling and how to execute them effectively to minimize damage and prevent future attacks.
- Identify vulnerabilities and threats: Discover how to detect malicious applications and network activity, as well as analyze system and network vulnerabilities. By understanding common attack techniques used to compromise hosts, you'll be better equipped to safeguard your organization's digital assets.
- Continuously improve your processes: Gain insights into how to continuously improve your security processes by discovering the root causes of incidents. With this knowledge, you'll be able to proactively prevent future incidents and stay ahead of cyber threats.
