Course Overview
This course introduces the Cisco CyberOps curriculum through MIET’s real-time SIEM lab, offering practical skills in intrusion detection, incident response, and packet analysis with Cisco Packet Tracer and Splunk. It prepares learners for L1 SOC roles and the Cisco 200-201 CBROPS certification.
Key Learning Highlights
- Apply knowledge in a real-time SOC lab using Splunk and other monitoring tools.
- Practice network security and traffic analysis in simulated environments.
- Learn intrusion detection, incident response, and security monitoring fundamentals.
- Training mapped to L1 Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst roles.
- Comprehensive coverage of the Cisco 200-201 CBROPS exam objectives.
- Practical training with focus on packet analysis, log monitoring, and event correlation.
Tools & Platforms Used
Learning Outcome
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Explain cybersecurity fundamentals, Security Operations Center (SOC) operations, and network security concepts.
- Configure and use security monitoring tools including Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms and network analysis tools.
- Perform host-based analysis, endpoint security monitoring, and digital forensics procedures.
- Conduct network intrusion analysis using packet capture tools and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) technologies.
- Execute incident response procedures, threat hunting activities, and security event correlation techniques.
