The Security Operations and Defensive Analysis (SOC-200) course delves into the foundations of defending networks and systems against cyber threats. Learners gain practical experience within a hands-on, self-paced environment designed to teach the fundamental concepts of SOC operations.
Topics covered in the SOC-200 course
Attack Methodology Introduction
Explore the fundamental mindsets, tactics, and phases of a cyberattack. Build a strong foundation for understanding attacker behavior and how to anticipate their moves during your penetration testing engagements.
Windows Endpoint Introduction
Gain a solid understanding of the concepts and security concerns surrounding Windows endpoints, including desktops, laptops, and other Windows-based user devices. Discover common vulnerabilities and the attack vectors adversaries use to target them.
Windows Server Side Attacks
Uncover the techniques attackers employ to compromise Windows servers – the backbone of many networks. Learn methods for exploiting critical services and vulnerabilities to gain elevated access.
Windows Client-Side Attacks
Investigate how attackers manipulate the user-facing side of Windows systems. Analyze browser-based attacks, vulnerabilities in software, and social engineering tactics designed to compromise endpoints.
Windows Privilege Escalation
Examine the art of elevating your privileges on Windows systems. Learn to exploit misconfigurations, software flaws, and zero-day vulnerabilities, increasing your level of network control.
Windows Persistence
Learn the techniques attackers use to stay hidden on compromised Windows systems. Explore file system persistence, registry modification, scheduled tasks, and other methods to maintain a foothold.
Linux Endpoint Introduction
Gain an understanding of the concepts surrounding Linux endpoints, their security mechanisms, and potential vulnerabilities. Become familiar with common attack vectors used to target them.
Linux Server Side Attacks
Examine how adversaries compromise Linux servers, utilizing privilege escalation methods, service exploits, and configuration weaknesses.
Network Detections
Develop a comprehensive understanding of network security incidents and detection techniques. Learn how firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other tools identify malicious activity, allowing you to refine your evasion strategies.
Antivirus Alerts and Evasion
Explore advanced methods for evading antivirus solutions. Understand payload obfuscation, exploit customization, and techniques designed to minimize your digital footprint while maximizing success.
The SOC-200 certification course is ideal for security professionals seeking to enhance their defensive analysis and response skills and earn the OSDA. It’s designed for individuals who have a solid foundation in networking and basic familiarity with Linux and Windows systems.
