Course Prerequisites

To get the most out of this course, participants should have:

A basic understanding of cybersecurity concepts and network security.
Familiarity with common network protocols and security technologies (e.g., firewalls, IDS/IPS, SIEM).
Basic knowledge of incident response and risk management.
While prior experience in a SOC or with security monitoring tools is helpful, it's not mandatory. This course starts with foundational concepts and builds up to more advanced topics.

Learning Objectives

The SOC Essentials (S|CE) course is designed to provide you with the foundational knowledge needed to understand and contribute to security operations within an organization. You will learn key concepts, tools, and methodologies used by SOC teams to detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents.

Key topics include:

Introduction to Security Operations Centers (SOC): Learn the role and importance of SOCs in modern cybersecurity, including the organizational structure and processes that make them effective.
SOC Tools and Technologies: Get familiar with the essential tools used in SOC operations, including SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems, IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems), and firewalls.
Threat Detection and Monitoring: Understand how SOC teams continuously monitor networks, identify potential security threats, and analyze alerts to detect malicious activities.
Incident Response and Management: Learn how to handle security incidents, from detection and analysis to containment and recovery. Understand how SOC teams manage response protocols during an active attack.
SOC Best Practices and Procedures: Study the best practices for running a SOC, including the importance of continuous improvement, regular security assessments, and compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
Security Event Lifecycle: Understand the lifecycle of a security event from detection, investigation, mitigation, to recovery and documentation.

After completing this course, you’ll be ready to sit for the SOC Essentials (S|CE) certification exam. This certification will validate your knowledge of SOC operations and position you as a skilled professional in managing security monitoring and response for modern organizations.

Target Audience

This course is perfect for:
