Course wrap-up
Congratulations on completing this course on detection and response!
As you've progressed, we've covered a wide range of topics and tools.
Let's take a moment to review what you've learned.
First, we began with an overview of the incident response lifecycle.
You learned how security teams coordinate their response efforts.
And you explored the documentation, detection, and management tools used in incident response.
Next, you learned how to monitor and analyze network traffic.
You learned about capturing and analyzing packets using packets sniffers.
You also practiced using tools like tcpdump to capture and analyze network data to identify indicators of compromise.
Then, we explored processes and procedures involved in the phases of the incident response lifecycle.
You learned about techniques related to incident detection and analysis.
You also learned about documentation like chain of custody, playbooks, and final reports.
We ended with exploring strategies used for recovery and post-incident activity.
Finally, you learned how to interpret logs and alerts.
You explored Suricata on the command line to read and understand signatures and rules.
You also used SIEM tools like Splunk and Chronicle to search for events and logs.
As a security analyst, you'll be presented with a new challenge every day.
Whether it's investigating evidence or documenting your work, you'll use what you've learned in this course to effectively respond to incidents.
I'm so glad to have been on this learning journey with you.
You've done a fantastic job in expanding your knowledge and learning new tools to add to your security toolbox.
One of the things I love about the security field is that there's always something new to learn.
And coming up, you'll continue your learning journey by exploring a programming language called Python, which can be used to automate security tasks.
Keep up the great work!
