The new online training program "Security Operations and Threat Hunting" for experts, developed by Kaspersky specialists, supports companies in optimizing their Security Operations Center (SOC) or even setting it up from scratch.
It helps SOC and security teams optimize their threat hunting, incident detection and investigation capabilities. The course guides the participants through the SOC structure, threat intelligence and relevant attacks. The on-demand format and virtual hands-on exercises allow participants to complete the training at their own pace.
Every company is familiar with SOC challenges: staff shortages and a lack of knowledge and skills. The (further) development of the corresponding know-how and the resulting expertise is of great relevance for both companies and employees in order to increase security and advance professionally. However, when it comes to enterprise security operations and threat hunting, relying on content from proven cybersecurity experts is essential.
New cybersecurity training concept
Security Operations and Threat Hunting is a new course within the Kaspersky Expert Training portfolio. It offers comprehensive guidance on the topic from experienced experts, including the head of Kaspersky SOC, the head of Kaspersky SOC Consulting, SOC analysts and security researchers. In addition to the structure of the Security Operations Center, the expert roles, processes and tools, the focus of the training is on the tactics, techniques and procedures of modern attacks against Windows, Linux and networks and how these can be dealt with. Attacks such as Windows credentials dumping and exploitation of services, golden and silver tickets, Linux capabilities abuse and spoofing are dealt with here.
Students will gain a clear understanding of the SOC as part of a comprehensive cyber defense strategy, and will also learn how to plan and organize security monitoring, use threat intelligence services, and detect and investigate malicious activity via the ELK stack. This knowledge and skills are essential for specialists involved in security operations and threat hunting, including intermediate and advanced SOC professionals.
100 hours of practical exercises
The training includes a six-month access to the course and 100 hours of practical exercises. Participants can complete the course within six months of activating the access code – whenever and wherever they want.
“Companies need to close their knowledge gap and increase the effectiveness of their security measures. Although additional investments are always tricky, online education can help to achieve one's goals,” emphasizes Sergey Soldierov, Head of Kaspersky SOC. “With this business challenge in mind, we have developed a series of expert training courses on threat hunting, incident response and malware analysis, including this new training course. Kaspersky Expert Training combines our up-to-date expertise in a convenient, on-demand format, allowing participants to balance their training with professional responsibilities. The course is also suitable for individual professionals to improve their personal skills to further advance their careers.”
