What is the Threat Detection with Kansa and PowerShell course about?

Security teams still rely on ad-hoc scripts and reactive playbooks, leading to gaps in coverage, inconsistent data collection, and delayed response. As threats grow more evasive, the need for automated, repeatable, and auditable processes becomes urgent. Even mature teams struggle to standardize across environments without overburdening analysts.
