Cyber threat intelligence represents a force multiplier for organizations looking to update their response and detection programs to deal with increasingly sophisticated advanced persistent threats. Malware is an adversary’s tool but the real threat is the human one, and cyber threat intelligence focuses on countering those flexible and persistent human threats with empowered and trained human defenders. During a targeted attack, an organization needs a top-notch and cutting-edge threat hunting or incident response team armed with the threat intelligence necessary to understand how adversaries operate and to counter the threat. FOR578: Cyber Threat Intelligence will train you and your team in the tactical, operational, and strategic level cyber threat intelligence skills and tradecraft required to make security teams better, threat hunting more accurate, incident response more effective, and organizations more aware of the evolving threat landscape.

FOR572: Advanced Network Forensics: Threat Hunting, Analysis, and Incident Response

The world is changing and so is the data we need to conduct our investigations. Cloud platforms change how data is stored and accessed. They remove the examiner’s ability to put their hands directly on the systems. Many examiners are trying to force old methods for on-premise examination onto cloud hosted platforms. Rather than resisting change, examiners must learn to embrace the new opportunities presented to them in the form of new evidence sources. FOR509: Enterprise Cloud Forensics and Incident Response addresses today’s need to bring examiners up to speed with the rapidly changing world of enterprise cloud environments by uncovering the new evidence sources that only exist in the Cloud.

The rapid adoption of cloud services has created exciting new business capabilities and new cyber-attack opportunities. To detect these threats, companies require skilled security analysts who understand attack techniques, perform cloud security monitoring and investigations, and detection capabilities across the organization. The SEC541 course focuses on Cloud Threat Detection, covering various attack techniques used against cloud infrastructure and teaching the observation, detection, and analysis of cloud telemetry. With 20 hands-on labs and CTF, this course equips security analysts, detection engineers, and threat hunters with practical skills and knowledge to safeguard their organization’s cloud infrastructure against potential threats. Upon completion, you can apply these newfound skills to help keep your organization’s cloud infrastructure secure.

SEC541.1: Management Plane and Networking Logging
SEC541.2: Computer and Cloud Services Logging
SEC541.3: Cloud Services and Data Discovery
SEC541.4: Microsoft Ecosystem
SEC541.5: Automate Response Actions and CloudWars

SEC541: Cloud Security Attacker Techniques, Monitoring, and Threat Detection

SEC504 helps you develop the skills to conduct incident response investigations. You will learn how to apply a dynamic incident response process to evolving cyber threats, and how to develop threat intelligence to mount effective defense strategies for cloud and on-premises platforms. You’ll examine the latest threats to organizations, from watering hole attacks to business email compromise, getting you into the mindset of attackers and anticipating their moves. SEC504 gives you the skills you need to understand how attackers scan, exploit, pivot, and establish persistence in cloud and conventional systems. To reinforce these skills, and to help you retain the course material, 50% of class time is spent on hands-on exercises, using visual association tools to break down complex topics. This course prepares you to conduct cyber investigations and will boost your career by helping you develop these in-demand skills. 33 full labs, 18 Lightning Labs, and an immersive capture the flag event.
