Description
Companies regularly deploy various security technologies designed to prevent and detect threats and strengthen and protect assets. During this module, we will detail SOC environments and how they work. The student will know to build and properly configure his SOC environment and correlate it with other security products/assets. Having a SOC allows you to have dynamic security that acts as a real bastion of analysis, monitoring, prevention, and remediation.
