    Certified SOC Analyst (CSA) Course Overview

    About the EC-Council CSA Training

    The Level9Security Certified SOC Analyst (CSA) program serves as the initial gateway to entering a Security Operations Center (SOC). Designed to empower both current and aspiring Tier I and Tier II SOC analysts, this program equips individuals with the skills needed for entry-level and intermediate-level operations.

    The CSA certification program not only provides comprehensive training but also grants a valuable credential. Candidates are instructed by industry-leading experts, ensuring they acquire the most current and sought-after technical skills. The program's core objective is to create new career opportunities by imparting extensive knowledge and enhancing capabilities, enabling participants to make meaningful contributions to a SOC team.

    Description

    Spanning three intensive days, the program covers the fundamentals of SOC operations, progressing to topics such as log management, correlation, SIEM deployment, advanced incident detection, and incident response. Additionally, candidates learn to manage various SOC processes and collaborate effectively with the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) when necessary.

    In an ever-expanding security landscape, a SOC team plays a critical role in actively detecting potential cyber threats and swiftly responding to security incidents. Organizations require skilled SOC Analysts who serve as front-line defenders, alerting other professionals to emerging and existing cyber threats.

    What Will You Learn?

    The lab-intensive nature of the SOC analyst certification program underscores a holistic approach to delivering both fundamental and advanced knowledge of identifying and validating intrusion attempts. Candidates become proficient in using Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions and harnessing predictive capabilities through threat intelligence. Practical experience is gained through advanced and frequently-used tools, enabling enhanced threat detection using predictive Threat Intelligence capabilities.

    Certification

    In recent years, the cybersecurity landscape has witnessed the evolution of cyber risks, creating an increasingly unsafe environment across various sectors. To counter these sophisticated threats, enterprises need advanced cybersecurity solutions in addition to traditional defense methods. The practice of sound cybersecurity hygiene, the implementation of an effective line of defense, and the incorporation of a Security Operations Center (SOC) have become imperative solutions.

    The Course Curriculam

    A SOC Analyst's role involves continuous monitoring and the detection of potential threats, followed by the triaging of alerts and appropriate escalation. Without a SOC analyst, critical processes such as monitoring, detection, analysis, and triaging would lose their effectiveness, ultimately detrimentally impacting the organization's security posture.
