YCP Mentor Notes: Detection Engineering Masterclass

Want to get hands-on but found the “Cloud Resume Challenge” to be overwhelming?

I’ve got another affordable idea for you ($30 USD)...

It’s called the “Detection Engineering Masterclass” by Anthony Isherwood .

When you use this link, with this referral code, Anthony will make the most money.

I took the course myself. Let me tell you why I recommend it to you:

• He knows what he’s talking about: He currently works as a “Lead Detection Engineer” for a large company, focusing on detection creation, automation, and adversary emulation.
• This means he’s a practitioner who teaches (like me).
• The course subtitle is “Detection Engineering Zero to Hero” and that’s exactly what happens if you do the work.

By the end of this two-part course, you'll have a full stack detection engineering architecture in your lab. You'll be able to:

1. Discuss detection engineering principles
2. Set up a dedicated lab
3. Run attack scenarios to generate logs and create alerts
4. Work with logs and a real security information and event management (SIEM) system
5. Use Atomic Red Team for testing
6. Save alerts using a standardized template
7. Enforce template data through code
8. Programmatically push the alerts to the SIEM
9. Run periodic metrics off the detection data

Anthony has a 4.7 instructor rating. The course itself has a 4.9 rating.

(By the way, I receive nothing for recommending this course to you.)

If you want to work in a security operations center (SOC) this would be a great way to get an excellent set of hard skills.

Are you going to do this? Hit comment and tell me.

I read every comment you post!
