Training: Advanced Detection Engineering in the Enterprise

FalconForce developed a specialist workshop for security professionals to help taking their detection engineering capabilities to the next level. An ultimate detection engineering learning experience with the opportunity to go all-in with real-life, hands-on lab exercises.

The training covers a full, realistic attacker scenario in an enterprise environment: from the endpoint, through the Active Directory and into the cloud environment.

This training is led by experienced instructors that teach students to:

  • Understand how to research an attacker technique used in corporate environments.
  • Build resilient detections that are harder to evade by an attacker.
  • Validate their detections to make sure they keep functioning as intended.

The training focuses on Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR, but concepts can be applied to other stacks as well.
