What
InfosecTrain, a leading cybersecurity training provider, is hosting a 2-day free masterclass, “The SOC Masterclass: Learn, Practice, Succeed”. This Masterclass is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the Security Operations Center (SOC) environment and the role it plays in modern cybersecurity. Over two days, the session will introduce participants to the foundational concepts of a SOC, including its structure, key responsibilities, and different operational models such as internal, MSSP, and hybrid SOCs. Attendees will explore the roles within SOC teams, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 analysts, and gain a clear understanding of their responsibilities in monitoring, detection, and incident response. The masterclass will dive into essential SOC tools, including SIEM systems like Splunk, IDS/IPS, EDR, SOAR, and ticketing systems, along with their applications in incident detection and management. It will also include frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain. On the second day, the focus will shift to understanding threats, alert triage, the phases of incident response, and the theory behind threat generation and escalation. The session will conclude with a deep dive into SOC analyst career paths, the required skillsets, certifications like Security+, CEH, and CSA, and practical interview preparation strategies.
