Threat hunting Incident Response

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

RCCE students will learn proactive threat hunting methodologies including hypothesis-driven hunting, data-driven hunting, intelligence-driven hunting, and hunt team operations. RCCE students will learn to develop threat hunting hypotheses based on MITRE ATT&CK techniques, design hunting queries across SIEM, EDR, and network data, identify indicators of compromise and attacker behavioral patterns, distinguish normal from anomalous activity in complex environments, document and share hunting findings, convert successful hunts into automated detections, and build threat hunting programs that continuously improve organizational detection capabilities. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn containment, evidence collection, eradication, and recovery procedures specific to this domain. Students practice incident scenarios that build the composure, coordination, and documentation skills essential for effective incident handling.
