Skills You’ll Learn
Understand the role of a SOC analyst in protecting critical IT infrastructure. Learn to continuously monitor networks for suspicious events and escalate real threats to incident response.
Gain a solid foundation in TCP/IP, OSI model, and how to interpret network traffic. Learn to work with system and network logs (Windows Event, Linux syslogs, firewall logs) to detect anomalies.
Master Splunk and the Elastic Stack for Security Information and Event Management. You’ll learn how SIEM tools ingest and analyze high-volume data in real-time to spot threats. Practice querying, visualizing, and correlating logs from multiple sources.
Learn how to gather and apply threat intelligence (OSINT, indicators of compromise) and map adversary tactics using the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This helps you anticipate and recognize attack patterns.
Practice the incident response lifecycle: triage alerts, contain incidents, eradicate threats, and recover systems. Use tools like Wireshark for packet capture analysis and learn basic forensic techniques to trace attack vectors.
Experience handling incidents using Security Orchestration (SOAR) and ticketing systems. Learn how to log incidents, escalate tasks, and apply playbooks in a simulated SOC workflow.
Develop professional communication skills by writing incident reports and security logs. Practice clear documentation – a key skill for any SOC role.
Each skill builds on the last to ensure you not only learn SIEM and SOC concepts, but can apply them in realistic situations.

If you’re working in IT support, networking, or admin and want to transition into cybersecurity, this course will build on your background and teach specialized SOC skills.
No cybersecurity experience? No problem. Recent graduates in computer science/engineering or career changers from other fields can start here. (In fact, there are “no set rules or boxes” to become a SOC analyst).
If your goal is to become a SOC Analyst, this is the training to get you there. We cover all fundamentals and advanced topics you’ll need for that role.
Anyone passionate about cyber defense. Even if you’ve never written a script or used a SIEM, this course will guide you step-by-step.
Leverage your existing IT skills while gaining specialized security knowledge (like log analysis and threat detection) to advance your career.
If you’re fascinated by cybersecurity and want to learn “how hackers hack” so you can defend against them, this CEH training is the perfect starting point.
Prerequisites for the SOC Analyst Training
Basic computer proficiency is all that’s needed. Comfort with Windows and familiarity with networking concepts is helpful but not required. We start from the basics of SOC operations, so no prior cybersecurity experience is necessary to enroll.
Course Curriculum
Our curriculum is structured to mimic the real workflow of a Security Operations Center. Key modules include:
Introduction to SOC & Security Basics
Learn why SOCs exist, the cybersecurity landscape, key concepts (CIA triad, threat landscape), and SOC roles.
Networking & System Fundamentals
Brush up on TCP/IP, common protocols, OSI model, Windows & Linux basics. Understand the sources of security logs.
SIEM Concepts & Splunk Fundamentals
Explore what SIEM does in security operations . Get hands-on with Splunk: ingest data, craft searches, build dashboards, and set alerts for security events .
Elastic Stack (ELK) for Security
Learn Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana for log aggregation and analysis. Configure data pipelines, visualize log data, and compare ELK’s capabilities (the “modern SOC SIEM” ) to Splunk.
Threat Intelligence & MITRE ATT&CK
Discover how analysts use threat intel. Map out the MITRE ATT&CK framework of adversary tactics to understand attack patterns and build detection use cases.
Log Analysis & Detection Engineering
Examine logs from firewalls, IDS/IPS, servers and apps. Learn to triage alerts and engineer detection rules (e.g. using Splunk searches, SIEM correlation rules).
Incident Response (IR) Essentials
Study the IR process (identify, contain, eradicate, recover). Perform hands-on IR exercises: analyze malware, trace its activity, isolate infected hosts, and document findings.
Network Forensics with Wireshark
Use Wireshark to capture and analyze network packets. Learn to detect malicious traffic patterns and investigate network-based incidents.
SOAR & Ticketing Simulation
Experience a simulated SOC workflow using SOAR-like tools and ticketing systems. Learn to log incidents, escalate tasks, and apply playbooks as you would on an actual security team.
Scenario Drills & Reporting
Complete real-world scenario drills that combine all skills (detection to response). Practice writing professional incident reports and communicating findings to stakeholders.
By the end of training, you’ll have a portfolio of lab reports and dashboards demonstrating your SOC skills. This practical experience is invaluable: studies show hands-on learning dramatically improves retention and readiness for real SOC tasks.

What will I receive at completion?
Live online sessions (recorded for review) combined with extensive practical labs. You can attend from anywhere. The format encourages interaction: ask questions in real time and receive instant feedback on exercises.
That’s fine. We start with fundamentals. In fact, information security roles often don’t require a specific degree . What matters is your hands-on ability. This course is designed to teach you everything from the ground up.
Absolutely! Hands-on learning is at the heart of our CEH training. Throughout the course, after learning a concept or attack technique, you will practice it in a controlled lab environment. For example, when you learn about network scanning, you’ll use tools like Nmap in our lab to scan target machines. When learning about exploitation, you might use Metasploit to compromise a system in the lab. We provide exercises for web app hacking, password cracking, sniffing, etc., all in safe virtual labs. By the end of the course, you will have practical experience with 200+ tools and techniques. This not only prepares you for the exam (which now expects knowledge of tools) but also ensures you can apply skills in real-world situations. Our mantra: learn by doing, so expect plenty of hands-on tasks!
You’ll practice interview questions, refine your resume, and even get help crafting your LinkedIn profile. Many alumni have found entry-level SOC roles soon after completing our training.
SOC analysts are on the front lines of cybersecurity. With cyber threats rising, organizations need skilled analysts to monitor and defend their networks. Official forecasts predict 33% job growth in information security by 2033
. Our SOC course gives you the practical skills employers want.
