security operations center specialist

Security Operations Center Specialist Diploma training covers up roles and responsibilities of SOC L1, L2 and L3 team .This is a Defensive security diploma which focuses on preparing an all rounder SOC specialist candidate as per the market need . The SOC team is mainly responsible for handling the ongoing operational component of enterprises. Security operations center staff is comprised primarily of SOC analysts who work together to detect, analyze, respond to, report on, and prevent cybersecurity incidents. Additional capabilities of some security operations centers can include advanced forensic analysis, crypt-analysis, and malware reverse engineering to analyze incidents.

The Security Operations Center Specialist training we have divided into three segments .

The first segment of Security operations Center training focuses on how to investigate vulnerabilities, Performing spear phishing campaigns  and exploiting the external and internal infrastructure .

The second segment of Security operations Center Specialist training focuses on inhouse defensive security implementation and continues monitoring .  It Covers a wide range of blue team operations including SOC design and deployment , Log analysis, vulnerability finding , dashboard designing and investigative techniques . The scenario based industrial use cases will be covered up with SPLUNK and IBM Radar.

The third segment of Security operations Center Specialist training focuses on building an investigative mindset . The candidate will learn how to detect the APT lifecycle with combining the capabilities of Live incident response , threat intelligence , digital forensics and malware analysis . Digital forensics and Threat intelligence portion will prepare candidates to make faster security decisions to fight against threat actors .The Practical Incident response primer module combines everything together and provides an fine grained learning  for rapid response with an interesting APT attack .

why should i take this training?

The APT attacks are growing every day because almost every business sector is dependent on technology. Organizations these days started taking IT security seriously hence the need for defensive security teams is increased in the market. 

Even we addressed the companies that have defensive teams often failed to detect the adversarial attack due to lack of skills.  we have addressed almost every type of skill gap as a defensive security perimeter and designed this blue team operations training to bridge the skill gap. Join this training and mature the overall SOC infrastructure with more capabilities.

TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying

Today I've completed my one 2 one online training by Mr Naresh sir from Certcube Labs .
This is the first time I have attended a class in this format and wondered how effective it would be. It was very effective and therefore I would definitely be interested in attending other classes in the same format. The instructor was very knowlegeable and provided a wealth of information about the current version, especially since the last version I used was several releases ago.
