Advanced Threat Detection: EDR/XDR Operations

Learn How to Detect, Hunt and Respond to Live Attackers

The attacker is already on the endpoint. Not a simulation. Not a scan result. A live process, running quietly, waiting. Most defenders find out when it's too late. Trained analysts find out first.

This course trains you to operate real EDR and XDR platforms the way enterprise SOC teams actually use them. Detection engineering. Live threat hunting. Incident response under pressure. No theory without practice. Every technique gets tested in a live lab.

Why EDR/XDR Skills Matter Now

Endpoint detection is the frontline of every modern SOC. It's used in:

• Enterprise threat detection and response

• Ransomware containment

• Insider threat monitoring

• Security operations center workflows

• Digital forensics and incident response

• Red team evasion testing

Attackers are actively building tradecraft to bypass EDR. Companies are pouring budget into XDR platforms faster than they can hire people who know how to run them. If you want to work in a SOC, in detection engineering, or in incident response, this is not optional skill anymore. It's the job.

Tools You'll Master

You won't just read about these platforms. You'll operate them.

• CrowdStrike Falcon

• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

• Velociraptor

• LimaCharlie

• Wazuh

• MITRE ATT&CK Navigator

You'll learn how to configure them, tune them, hunt inside them, and correlate signals across all of them like a real detection engineer.

What You'll Be Able To Do

By the end of this course, you'll confidently:

1. 1

   Configure and tune EDR agents to reduce noise and catch real threats.

2. 2

   Write detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques.

3. 3

   Hunt for attacker behavior instead of waiting on alerts to fire Investigate live endpoint activity and isolate compromised systems.

4. 4

   Use Velociraptor for forensic triage at scale Build real time detection pipelines with LimaCharlie.

5. 5

   Understand the evasion techniques attackers use against EDR, so you know exactly what you're defending against

Most importantly, you'll think like a detection engineer, not just an alert reader.

Learning Mode

This is hands-on from start to finish. You'll get:

• Guided labs inside real EDR and XDR platforms

• Live simulated attacker activity to detect and respond to.

• A structured capstone incident response simulation.

• A shareable certificate Cohort Discord support
