Course Overview

Traditional security tools often fail to detect advanced threats such as zero-day exploits and persistent adversaries. Proactive threat hunting and intrusion detection are essential to identifying hidden compromises before they escalate.

This Threat Hunting and Cyber Intrusion Detection Training Course provides participants with practical methods for detecting, investigating, and mitigating cyber intrusions. It covers network and endpoint detection, attacker tactics and techniques, and the integration of intelligence into security operations.

Through hands-on labs, simulations, and case studies, participants will gain the expertise to conduct threat hunts, respond to intrusions, and improve SOC performance.

Course Benefits

• Strengthen proactive threat detection capabilities.

• Conduct structured cyber threat hunting.

• Improve SOC effectiveness and maturity.
