    This course is part of a Career Path:
    Become an Incident Handler
    In this Career Path, you will learn the incident response process, from building an incident response kit and developing an incident response team, to identifying, containing, and recovering from incidents. We then steer away from a traditional “defensive-only” approach to introduce you to the attacker’s world.
    Become a SOC Analyst - Level 3
    This Career Path is for a Security Operations Center Analyst (SOC Analyst). This particular Career Path covers a more advanced-level SOC role. As a SOC Analyst, your primary duty is to ensure that the organization’s digital assets are secure and protected from unauthorized access. That means that you are responsible for protecting both online and on-premise infrastructures, monitoring data to identify suspicious activity, and identifying and mitigating risks before there is a breach. In the event that a breach does occur, a SOC analyst will be on the front line, working to counter the attack.
