Specialising Course - Workshop SOC Junior Analyst | CYBERSECURITY & CLOUD duration Weekend
In today's highly interconnected world, cybersecurity plays a crucial role in the broader framework of business risk management. In fact, it is an area destined to acquire an increasingly important role within company processes and the world of work.
Cybersecurity experts (such as Ethical Hackers and SOC Analysts) are the leading figures in this context: by mastering the same tools used by hackers, they exploit the point of view of an attacker to deploy useful countermeasures for systems protection. These professionals, who ensure the protection of know-how and of all sensitive data, represent fundamental assets for any company.
The workshop will take place in a creative environment, with references to the typical underground "Old School" culture of hacking and within the framework of a Learning-by-Doing approach. Theory will thus be accompanied by a substantial part of hands-on practice (e.g.practical sessions of recognition and protection from hacker attacks), which will contribute to speed up and facilitate the entire learning process. Thanks to this workshop you will learn to use the leading attack analysis softwares and the tools that every SOC Analyst needs to know. You will also acquire the notions that will allow you to recognize the main intrusion techniques, up to the point of understanding what specific measures can be adopted to ensure an adequate level of system security.
