Course Description
Updated for 2023, our immersive 2-day Defending Enterprises training is the natural counterpart to our popular Hacking Enterprises course. You’ll play a SOC analyst in our Microsoft Sentinel cloud-based lab and try to rapidly locate IOA’s and IOC’s from a live enterprise breach executed by the trainers in real time.
Whether you’re new to Kusto Query Language (KQL) or a seasoned pro, there’s plenty for you in the 2-days! Yes, we’re using Microsoft Sentinel, but the underlying threat detection theory, logic and threat hunting approach is transferable into your own environments, whatever your preferred platform.
We look at the top 10+ methods we use in offensive engagements and show how these can be caught, along with numerous other examples and methods that go above and beyond these common TTPs!
With 14 hands-on exercises you’ll gain real-world experience in all of the areas of this course (see below).
