SOC Analyst, Threat Hunting & Digital Forensics

A security operations center is where a defense either works or doesn't. Somewhere between the first alert and the final incident report, an analyst decides what's real, how far it's spread, and what to do - and this guide builds that judgment from a Tier 1 analyst's first shift to a full endpoint investigation in the cloud.

What's Inside:

• Alert triage, reporting, and SOC workflow as a Tier 1 analyst
• SIEM, EDR, Splunk, and Elastic - from basics to advanced queries
• The Pyramid of Pain, kill chains, and MITRE ATT&CK
• Phishing, network, web, Windows, and Linux monitoring
• Active Directory and Microsoft 365 monitoring, plus cloud logging
• Detection engineering with Sigma, threat hunting, and threat emulation
• The full incident response lifecycle and cyber threat intelligence
• File systems, Linux/Windows/macOS/mobile forensics, and memory analysis
• Disk imaging, a multi-part honeynet investigation, and malware analysis basics
• Microsoft Sentinel, KQL, and Defender XDR for cloud-native defense
• 41 chapters, 210+ topics, and a 432-term master glossary

Who It's For: Aspiring and current SOC analysts, analysts moving from Tier 1 toward Tier 2, incident responders, forensic investigators, and cloud security practitioners working in Azure.
