Learners gain hands-on experience with a SIEM, identifying and assessing a variety of live, end-to-end attacks against a number of different network architectures.

Detailed Description

Learn the foundations of cybersecurity defense with Offensive Security’s new Security Operations and Defensive Analysis (SOC-200) course on security operations.


OffSec set the industry standard with Penetration Testing with Kali Linux (PWK), teaching students how to perform practical attacks against networks and systems. Now with SOC-200, we reveal the consequences of common attacks from a defensive perspective.
Students who complete the course and pass the associated exam earn the Offensive Security Defense Analyst (OSDA) certification, demonstrating their ability to detect and assess security incidents. A certified OSDA candidate is prepared to join and participate in a Security Operations Center (SOC) as a Junior Analyst.
