Cyber Threat Hunter

Upskilling Course, 40 Academic Hours

Deep Dive: Threat Hunting Methodologies, Tactics and Techniques

Chances are very high that hidden threats already exist inside your organization’s networks. No matter how thorough and sophisticated your security precautions may be, you cannot assume that such security measures are impenetrable. By themselves, prevention systems are insufficient to counter focused human adversaries who know how to get around today’s advanced security and monitoring tools. It takes highly skilled and focused hunters to defeat these persistent adversaries.

Wawiwa’s upskilling course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to proactively search for and identify cybersecurity threats within their organization’s network. The curriculum covers the fundamentals of threat hunting, including different hunting types, processes, missions and strategies to enhance their maturity. This course also explores specific techniques for endpoint and network-level hunting, such as detecting malware hiding techniques, identifying internal reconnaissance and lateral movement, and effective data acquisition methods.

By enrolling in this course, you'll get advanced knowledge on threat hunting methodologies, tactics, and techniques. You'll familiarize yourself with common threat hunting tools and technologies.

What Do Graduates Have to Say?

"I always found interest in cybersecurity. I had a passion for this huge field that keeps evolving. I looked for courses online, and found that most of them are very hands off, a video running on a website. Then I found Wawiwa’s Cybersecurity program. I registered and throughout the program, actually found myself looking forward to class. It’s a live session, with a lot of practical work, working on real-life cyber tools and experiencing what they can do. The instructors have real-life stories and examples from the field to get points across. It makes the program really exciting!”
