What is the Pragmatic Endpoint Detection Strategy course about?

Security teams deploy tools that generate alerts, but without cross-functional alignment, those signals don’t translate into timely, coordinated action. Business leaders need clarity; engineers need precision; compliance needs auditability. Without a unified strategy, organizations default to reactive, fragmented responses that drain resources and obscure real risk.
