This course focuses on advanced security operations, cloud security, and applied investigation, preparing students for SOC roles and real-world incident response environments. 

Students gain hands-on experience securing and monitoring enterprise networks and cloud platforms, configuring VPNs, closing security gaps, and applying security controls across AWS and cloud environments. 

The term emphasizes security monitoring, threat detection, and investigation, with labs covering SIEM configuration, threat landscape analysis, vulnerability management, and analyst-led use case investigations. Learners also perform advanced forensic analysis, malware investigation, and attack recreation, culminating in capstone-style challenges that simulate real security incidents.
