After taking this course, you should be able to:

• Describe the types of service coverage within a SOC and operational responsibilities associated with each. Compare security operations considerations of cloud platforms. Describe the general methodologies of SOC platforms development, management, and automation. Explain asset segmentation, segregation, network segmentation, micro
• segmentation, and approaches to each, as part of asset controls and protections. Describe Zero Trust and associated approaches, as part of asset controls and protections. Perform incident investigations using Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and/or security orchestration and automation (SOAR) in the SOC. Use different types of core security technology platforms for security monitoring, investigation, and response. Describe the DevOps and SecDevOps processes. Explain the common data formats, for example, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), HTML, XML, CommaSeparated Values (CSV). Describe API authentication mechanisms. Analyze the approach and strategies of threat detection, during monitoring, investigation, and response. Determine known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and Indicators of Attack (IOAs). Interpret the sequence of events during an attack based on analysis of traffic patterns. Describe the different security tools and their limitations for network analysis (for example, packet capture tools, traffic analysis tools, network log analysis tools). Analyze anomalous user and entity behavior (UEBA). Perform proactive threat hunting following best practices.
