What you’ll learn in this course

The Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity Operations (SECOPS) v1.0 course gives you foundation-level knowledge of security incident analysis techniques used in a Security Operations Center (SOC). You will learn how to identify and analyze threats and malicious activity, correlate events, conduct security investigations, use incident playbooks, and learn SOC operations and procedures. This is the second of two courses that prepare you for the Cisco® CCNA® Cyber Ops certification. This certification validates your knowledge and hands-on skills to help handle cybersecurity events as an associate-level member of an SOC team.

Today’s cybersecurity professionals need to detect, investigate, and respond to a wide variety of security events. This course will help you gain the skills to play a role in your organization’s SOC detecting and responding to security events.

How you’ll benefit

This course will help you:

Learn the fundamental skills that a cybersecurity analyst in a security operations center uses, including threat analysis, event correlation, identifying malicious activity, and how to use a playbook for incident response
Prepare for the Cisco CCNA Cyber Ops certification with hands-on practice using real-life security analysis tools, such as those found in a Linux distribution
Qualify for entry-level job roles in the high-demand area of cybersecurity
If you need privileged access to DoD Systems, and are military personnel, civilian contractors, and others, this course helps your prepare for Cisco CCNA Cyber Ops certification, which is one of the DoD Approved 8570 Baseline Certifications
