Welcome to “Malicious PowerShell Detection with SIEM”
Course Overview
Welcome to “Malicious PowerShell Detection with SIEM,” a specialized training designed to arm you with essential skills and in-depth knowledge for identifying and combating security threats specifically involving PowerShell using a robust Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. Throughout this course, we will focus on leveraging the capabilities of the Logstail platform, a cutting-edge SIEM tool that enhances your ability to monitor, analyze, and respond to potential security incidents.
Why This Course is Important
In today’s cybersecurity landscape, PowerShell remains a powerful but potentially vulnerable component of Windows environments. Its versatility as both a scripting language and a command-line shell enables administrators and attackers alike to automate tasks and manage configurations. Malicious use of PowerShell is a common technique in various attack vectors, including malware execution, data exfiltration, and persistence establishment. Detecting such activities efficiently requires specialized knowledge and tools.
Understanding how to effectively use SIEM technologies to detect unusual and unauthorized PowerShell activities is crucial for defending organizations against advanced threats. This course fills a critical need, providing you with the technical expertise to harness the power of SIEM solutions like Logstail to detect, alert, and respond to malicious PowerShell activities.
