Blue Team Defense: Advanced Security Operations & Incident

Advance your SOC skills with real-time detection, automated response, and forensic techniques for modern cyber defense.

What you'll learn

How to integrate secure coding practices into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) using models like SEI-CMMI.

How to apply Kali Linux and Bash scripting to automate risk assessments, implement defenses, and support incident response.

Techniques to analyze and defend against mobile device threats, including OWASP mobile risks and iOS/Android hacking methods.

How to build and manage a Blue Team, focusing on recruitment, soft skills, leadership, and digital forensic investigation.

Requirements

Familiarity with networking, Linux basics, and common cybersecurity tools.

Prior exposure to threat detection, incident response, or risk management is helpful but not required.

Description

Welcome to Blue Team – Domain 5: Security Operations & Incident Response, the final domain in your Certcop Blue Team journey. This course focuses on bridging cybersecurity operations with secure software development, risk mitigation, mobile security, and effective Blue Team management.You’ll begin with a deep understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including secure coding practices, data warehousing, and maturity models like SEI-CMMI. From there, you'll gain hands-on skills in Kali Linux and Bash scripting, applying scripts to assess vulnerabilities, automate risk mitigation, and enhance network defense strategies.Next, we dive into the fast-evolving world of mobile device hacking, where you’ll explore the OWASP Mobile Top 10, mobile attack vectors, Android/iOS vulnerabilities, and jailbreaking techniques—all from a defender's perspective.You’ll also learn how to recruit, structure, and manage a successful Blue Team, identifying critical technical and soft skills, balancing in-house vs. outsourced talent, and fostering leadership and collaboration.Finally, we revisit Digital Forensics—including evidence collection, forensic tools, and investigative processes—ensuring you’re equipped to respond and investigate effectively after an incident.Whether you're a current SOC analyst, Blue Team lead, or cybersecurity student preparing for Certcop certification, this course gives you the advanced knowledge and practical insights needed to defend modern digital environments with confidence.
