Start your defensive security career by exploring the Blue Team and its core - the Security Operations Centre (SOC). You’ll learn why defensive security is essential and how it helps organisations stay protected against attacks.

This module immerses you in the work of a Security Operations Centre, where you’ll learn how both humans and systems become attack vectors, and how analysts detect and respond in real time. Through hands-on scenarios, you’ll gain practical insight into defending organisations from cyber attacks and explore SOC roles, tools, and skills needed to begin your journey as a Junior Security Analyst.
