Intrusion Detection and Analysis
A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a centralized unit in an organization that deals with security issues, on an organizational and technical level. This course is mostly intended in making the participant aware of the anatomy of security attacks, beginning at packet level analysis and moving up to alarms generated by Security Event Management solutions such as ArcSight or netForensics. It aims to provide the participants with the hands-on experience and knowledge to handle, manage, escalate and resolve security issues with proper knowledge and technical expertise.
