Program Overview

The Certified Cybercop Blue Team – Defensive Security program is designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to defend organizational IT infrastructures and respond effectively to cybersecurity threats. Participants learn critical concepts, including incident response and handling, where they develop and execute plans to identify, analyze, and mitigate security incidents. The program emphasizes security monitoring and threat detection using tools like SIEM to analyze anomalies and threat intelligence. It covers vulnerability management, focusing on assessing risks, applying patches, and prioritizing vulnerabilities. Key network defense strategies such as configuring firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and securing network traffic are integral components. Additionally, participants gain expertise in endpoint security, system hardening, and securing remote devices, along with an understanding of compliance frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR. The curriculum includes forensic analysis and malware investigation to understand the origin and impact of threats, along with strategies to counter advanced threats like APTs and social engineering. This program is ideal for IT professionals, network administrators, and individuals aiming for roles in Security Operations Centers (SOCs), preparing them for certifications like CompTIA CySA+, CEH, or GIAC. By the end of the program, participants are equipped to implement and monitor robust security solutions, respond to cyber threats, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
