Spending more time chasing false positives than stopping real threats?

The situation this course is for

Security engineers today are overwhelmed by noise, alert fatigue, and reactive workflows. Despite strong compliance posture and military-grade discipline, many still operate in detection limbo, unable to distinguish signal from noise at speed. The cost? Missed threats, burnout, and systemic risk.

Who this is for

Security Engineer | SOC Lead | Navy Veteran | GRC Practitioner | Chicago-Based Tech Professional

Who this is not for

Entry-level analysts, managers without technical SOC experience, or those seeking certification prep

What you walk away with

  • Reduce false positive rates by applying precision filtering frameworks
  • Map adversary behavior to detection logic using MITRE-aligned templates
  • Implement compliance controls that actively reduce attack surface
  • Accelerate incident triage with structured decision trees
  • Build self-documenting detection rules that survive team turnover
