Security Operations Center (SOC) Essentials provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the critical functions and responsibilities within a SOC environment. The course is structured to deliver practical knowledge through interactive, project-based learning, allowing participants to engage with real-world scenarios and develop applicable skills in cyber incident response and management. Through hands-on projects, learners will gain insights into the tools, techniques, and processes essential for effective security operations.
The curriculum focuses on equipping participants with the capabilities to identify, analyze, and respond to security incidents. By the end of the course, attendees will be prepared to contribute to a SOC team, manage incidents, and implement best practices for security monitoring and threat detection. Participants are encouraged to publish their findings and projects in Cademix Magazine, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and professional development.
