This course prepares analysts to operate effectively inside a federal Security Operations Center. It's built both for people new to SOC work and for analysts already doing the job who need to solidify the federal standards and terminology behind what they do day to day. What separates this course from generic SOC training is that every operational topic — log collection, continuous monitoring, detection engineering, incident response — is grounded in the statutes, policy memoranda, and technical standards that actually govern federal cyber defense.
