Course Highlights:

  • Evaluate detection rules for logic, scope, and alignment to organizational needs
  • Build detection rules using CQL, utilizing both rule templates and custom query logic
  • Use MITRE ATT&CK as a reference framework to inform and validate detection logic
  • Test, tune, and deploy rules matched to their environments' needs
  • Design custom dashboards tailored to specific business needs and use cases
  • Configure custom reports
