Course description

This is an advanced module designed for security analysts who want to move beyond reactive monitoring. In Threat Hunting: Proactive Defense, you will shift from waiting for alerts to actively searching for malicious activity within a network.

You will learn the Hunting Maturity Model, how to develop hypotheses based on the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, and how to use tools like ELK Stack, Splunk, and Wireshark to find "needles in the haystack." The course covers memory forensics, log analysis, and behavioral patterns that signal a breach. This module bridges the gap between basic SOC operations and advanced incident response.

What will i learn?

• Develop Hypotheses: Create structured hunting plans based on the latest Threat Intelligence.
• Analyze Traffic: Detect lateral movement and command-and-control (C2) beacons in network logs.
• Endpoint Hunting: Use Sysmon and EDR telemetry to identify process injection and living-off-the-land techniques.
• Automate Detection: Write custom YARA rules and Sigma rules to automate the discovery of known threats.
• Report Findings: Translate technical "hunts" into actionable business risk reports for stakeholders.
