EDR Operations Playbook
RCCE students will learn Endpoint Detection and Response platform deployment, configuration, and operations including sensor deployment, detection rule management, automated response actions, and threat hunting with EDR telemetry. RCCE students will learn to deploy and manage EDR solutions across enterprise endpoints, configure detection rules for malware, lateral movement, and persistence techniques, implement automated response actions for containment, use EDR telemetry for proactive threat hunting, investigate alerts and trace attack chains through EDR data, tune EDR configurations to reduce false positives while maintaining detection coverage, and integrate EDR with SIEM and SOAR platforms. This operations-focused course delivers production-ready playbooks, checklists, and standard operating procedures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to build repeatable day-to-day operational workflows that ensure consistency and quality. Students receive templates and frameworks they can customize and deploy immediately in their security operations, reducing time to operational effectiveness.
