Mastering Security Operations Center: A Step-by-Step Guide



Course Overview

This comprehensive course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to master Security Operations Center (SOC). With a step-by-step approach, participants will learn how to design, implement, and manage a SOC that can detect, respond to, and prevent cyber threats.



Course Objectives

  • Understand the fundamentals of Security Operations Center (SOC)
  • Learn how to design and implement a SOC
  • Master threat detection, incident response, and threat hunting
  • Understand security information and event management (SIEM) systems
  • Learn how to implement security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR)
  • Understand the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in SOC
  • Learn how to manage and optimize SOC operations
  • Understand the importance of continuous monitoring and improvement


Course Outline

Module 1: Introduction to Security Operations Center (SOC)

  • Definition and purpose of SOC
  • Types of SOC (in-house, outsourced, hybrid)
  • SOC components (people, process, technology)
  • SOC benefits and challenges

Module 2: Designing and Implementing a SOC

  • SOC design principles
  • SOC architecture (physical, virtual, cloud-based)
  • SOC infrastructure (network, systems, storage)
  • SOC tools and technologies (SIEM, SOAR, threat intelligence)
  • Implementing SOC processes (incident response, threat hunting, continuous monitoring)

Module 3: Threat Detection and Incident Response

  • Threat detection techniques (signature-based, anomaly-based, behavioral-based)
  • Incident response methodologies (NIST, SANS, ISO 27035)
  • Incident response phases (detection, containment, eradication, recovery, post-incident activities)
  • Threat hunting methodologies (proactive, reactive)
  • Threat intelligence and its role in SOC

Module 4: Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Systems

  • SIEM definition and purpose
  • SIEM components (log collection, event correlation, alerting, reporting)
  • SIEM deployment options (on-premises, cloud-based, hybrid)
  • SIEM benefits and challenges
  • SIEM best practices (data quality, data retention, alert tuning)

Module 5: Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR)

  • SOAR definition and purpose
  • SOAR components (playbooks, workflows, automation, orchestration)
  • SOAR deployment options (on-premises, cloud-based, hybrid)
  • SOAR benefits and challenges
  • SOAR best practices (playbook development, workflow design, automation)

Module 6: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in SOC

  • AI and ML definition and purpose
  • AI and ML applications in SOC (anomaly detection, predictive analytics, incident response)
  • AI and ML benefits and challenges
  • AI and ML best practices (data quality, model training, model deployment)

Module 7: Managing and Optimizing SOC Operations

  • SOC governance and management
  • SOC metrics and performance measurement
  • SOC continuous monitoring and improvement
  • SOC training and awareness
  • SOC budgeting and resource allocation

Module 8: Continuous Monitoring and Improvement

  • Continuous monitoring definition and purpose
  • Continuous monitoring methodologies (NIST, SANS, ISO 27001)
  • Continuous monitoring benefits and challenges
  • Continuous monitoring best practices (risk assessment, vulnerability management, compliance)

Module 9: Case Studies and Group Discussions

  • Real-world case studies of SOC implementation and management
  • Group discussions on SOC challenges and best practices
  • Peer-to-peer learning and knowledge sharing

Module 10: Final Project and Assessment

  • Final project: Design and implement a SOC for a fictional organization
  • Assessment: Written exam and project presentation
  • Certificate of Completion issued by The Art of Service


Certificate of Completion

Upon completing the course, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion issued by The Art of Service. This certificate is a testament to the participant's knowledge and skills in mastering Security Operations Center (SOC).
