This 4.5-day course provides a comprehensive approach to building, modernising, and optimising Cyber Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) and Security Operations Centers (SOCs). Designed to address the increasing complexity of today’s threat landscape, the course blends strategic frameworks with hands-on technical training to equip participants with the skills needed to design, implement, and sustain effective cybersecurity operations.

Participants will explore key concepts such as defining CSIRT and SOC roles, establishing governance models, and aligning operations with industry standards like NIST, ISO/IEC 27035, and MITRE ATT&CK. They will also engage in practical workshops covering SOC architecture design, integrating specified tools and technologies, including IntelMQ, MISP, Shuffle, RTIR, IntelOwl.
