Course Outline
Module 1: Security Concepts
- Describe the CIA triad.
- Compare different security deployment models.
- Define key security terminology.
- Compare core security concepts.
- Describe the principles of defense-in-depth strategy.
- Compare access control models.
- Define terms as specified in CVSS.
- Identify challenges related to data visibility (network, host, and cloud) in detection processes.
- Identify potential data loss from provided traffic profiles.
- Interpret the 5-tuple approach to isolate a compromised host within a grouped set of logs.
- Compare rule-based detection against behavioral and statistical detection methods.
Module 2: Security Monitoring
- Compare the attack surface with vulnerabilities.
- Identify the types of data provided by various technologies.
- Describe how these technologies impact data visibility.
- Describe the uses of these data types in security monitoring.
- Describe network attacks, including protocol-based, denial of service (DoS), distributed denial of service (DDoS), and man-in-the-middle (MitM).
- Describe web application attacks, such as SQL injection, command injection, and cross-site scripting (XSS).
- Describe social engineering attacks.
- Describe endpoint-based attacks, such as buffer overflows, command and control (C2), malware, and ransomware.
- Describe evasion and obfuscation techniques, such as tunneling, encryption, and proxies.
- Describe the impact of certificates on security (including PKI, public/private key exchange across the network, asymmetric/symmetric encryption).
- Identify certificate components in a given scenario.
Module 3: Host-Based Analysis
- Describe the functionality of endpoint technologies regarding security monitoring.
- Identify components of an operating system (such as Windows and Linux) in a given scenario.
- Describe the role of attribution in an investigation.
- Identify types of evidence used based on provided logs.
- Compare tampered and untampered disk images.
- Interpret operating system, application, or command line logs to identify an event.
- Interpret the output report of a malware analysis tool (such as a detonation chamber or sandbox).
Module 4: Network Intrusion Analysis
- Map provided events to their source technologies.
- Compare the impact versus no impact for these items.
- Compare deep packet inspection with packet filtering and stateful firewall operations.
- Compare inline traffic interrogation with taps or traffic monitoring.
- Compare the characteristics of data obtained from taps/traffic monitoring with transactional data (NetFlow) in the analysis of network traffic.
- Extract files from a TCP stream when given a PCAP file and Wireshark.
- Identify key elements in an intrusion from a given PCAP file.
- Interpret the fields in protocol headers as related to intrusion analysis.
- Interpret common artifact elements from an event to identify an alert.
- Interpret basic regular expressions.
Module 5: Security Policies and Procedures
- Describe management concepts.
- Describe the elements in an incident response plan as stated in NIST SP 800-61.
- Apply the incident handling process (such as NIST SP 800-61) to an event.
- Map elements to these steps of analysis based on NIST SP 800-61.
- Map organization stakeholders against the NIST IR categories (CMMC, NIST SP 800-61).
- Describe concepts as documented in NIST SP 800-86.
- Identify elements used for network profiling.
- Identify elements used for server profiling.
- Identify protected data in a network.
- Classify intrusion events into categories as defined by security models, such as the Cyber Kill Chain Model and Diamond Model of Intrusion.
- Describe the relationship of SOC metrics to scope analysis (time to detect, time to contain, time to respond, time to control).

It did give me the insight what I needed :) I am starting teaching on a BTEC Level 3 qualification and wanted to widen my knowledge in this area.
