Telemetry strategy Hardening Workshop

📊 Level: Advanced
⏱️ Duration: 2 Days
🏷️ Track: SOC
📋 Prerequisites: Foundations
🖥️ Mode: Online Instructor-Led
📝 Course Description

RCCE students will learn security telemetry collection strategy including data source identification, collection architecture, telemetry pipeline design, and coverage assessment. RCCE students will learn to identify critical telemetry sources across endpoints, networks, cloud environments, and applications, design telemetry collection architectures that balance coverage with performance and cost, implement telemetry pipelines for data enrichment, normalization, and routing, assess telemetry coverage against detection requirements and MITRE ATT&CK, manage telemetry volume and storage costs, troubleshoot telemetry collection failures, and continuously optimize telemetry strategy as the organizational attack surface evolves. This hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
