COURSE SYLLABUS

Security operations (33%:)

System and network architecture: explaining log ingestion, operating system (OS) concepts, infrastructure, network architecture, identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and sensitive data protection.
Malicious activity indicators: analyzing network anomalies like bandwidth spikes and rogue devices, host issues like unauthorized software and data exfiltration, application irregularities like unexpected communication and service interruptions, and threats like social engineering attacks.
Tools and technqiues: deletectig malicious activity using tools like Wireshark, security information and event management (SIEM), and VirusTotal, along with techniques like pattern recognition and email analysis, supported by scripting languages like Python and PowerShell.
Process improvement: standardizing proceses, streamlining operations, integrating tools, and using a single pane of glass.

Vulernability management (30%):

Vulnerability scanning: implementing asset discovery, internal vs. external scanning, agent vs. agentless, credentialed vs. non-credentialed, passive vs. active, static vs. dynamic, and critical infrastructure scanning.
Assessment tool output: analyzing network scanning, web applications scanners, vulnerability scanners, debuggers, multipurpose tools, and cloud infrastructure assessments.
Vulnerability prioritization: interpreting common vulnerability scoring systems (CVSS), validating findings, assessing exploitability, and considering asset value and zero-day vulnerabilities.
Mitigation controls: recommending controls for cross-site scipting (XSS), overflow vulnerabilities, and data poisoning.
Vulnerability response: explaining compensating controls, patching, configuration management, maintenance windows, exceptions, governance, service-level objectives (SLOs), secure software development life cycle (SDLC), and threat modeling.

Incident response management (20%):

Attack methodology frameworks: explaining cyber kill chains, diamond model of intrusion analysis, MITRE ATT&CK, Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM), and OWASP testing guide.
Incident response activities: performing detection, analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery.
Incident response management lifecycle: explaining incident response plans, tools, playbooks, tabletop exercises, training, business continuity (BC), disaster recovery (DR), forensic analysis, and root cause analysis.

Reporting and communication (17%):

Vulnerability management and reporting: explaining compliance reports, action plans, inhibitors to remediation, metrics, key performance indicators (KPIs), and stakeholder communication.
Incident response reporting: explaining incident declaration, escalation, reporting, communication, root cause analysis, lessons learned, and metrics and KPIs.
