New Online Cybersecurity Training for Experts ‘Security Operations and Threat Hunting’ Unveiled

Developed by Kaspersky’s own specialists, the course aims to help businesses enhance or even build a security operations center (SOC) from scratch, and improve SOC’s and security team skills in threat hunting, incident detection and investigation.

These SOC expertise challenges are well-known for any enterprise: a shortage of staff, knowledge and skills. The task of raising professionalism is relevant for both businesses and individuals – to improve cyber defense and move up the career ladder. But when it comes to enterprise security operations and threat hunting, it is important to rely on content from proven experts in the industry.

The “Security Operations and Threat Hunting” is the new course in Kaspersky Expert Training portfolio.

Attacks such as Windows credentials dumping and exploitation through services, Golden and Silver tickets, Linux capabilities abuse, spoofing are covered and many more.

Students will gain a clear understanding of the SOC as part of cyber defense strategy, and learn also how to plan and organize security monitoring and use threat intelligence services, detect and investigate malicious activity with the ELK stack. This knowledge and skills will be relevant to any specialist involved in security operations and threat hunting, including SOC professionals with both middle and advanced levels of expertise.

The training provides six-month access to the course and 100 hours for hands-on labs. Students can take it when and wherever they like within six months after access code activation.
