Workshop: SOC Detection Engineering Crash Course with Hayden Covington

Overview
- Course Length: 4 hours
- Support from expert instructors
- Includes a certificate of completion
Detection Engineering can be a minefield of technical and logistical challenges, but in this workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals within a fully functional SIEM.
From writing custom threat detections using a structured and scientific process to test-firing them yourself, you’ll gain hands-on experience that bridges the gap between theory and practice. By the end of this workshop, you will not only have a strong foundation in detection engineering knowledge but also the practical skills to build effective and high-fidelity detections from the ground up.
