Recommended for students, professionals, and cybersecurity teams seeking operational mastery of the Kill Chain in corporate, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments. This practical guide explores each stage of the Kill Chain, integrating global frameworks and leading tools such as Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic SIEM, CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, Rapid7, Qualys, Tenable, Nessus, MISP, OpenVAS, Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, BloodHound, PowerShell Empire, Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, Osquery, Sysmon, Velociraptor, Wazuh, Suricata, Zeek, Security Onion, Kali Linux, Autopsy, FTK Imager, and integration with AWS Security Hub, Azure Security Center, and Google Chronicle.
You will learn how to orchestrate offensive defenses, automate indicator of compromise analysis, build response pipelines in SIEM and SOAR, execute attack simulations with Red Team, Blue Team, and Purple Team, and map adversary tactics using MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and GDPR.
Includes:
• Structuring Kill Chain with Splunk, Sentinel, and Elastic SIEM
• Automated response with Cortex XSOAR, Phantom, and TheHive
• Threat Intelligence integration with MISP and OpenCTI
• Attack simulation with Cobalt Strike, Metasploit, Empire, and BloodHound
• Evasion, pivoting, and log analysis with Sysmon, Osquery, and Velociraptor
• Workload protection in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
• Vulnerability mapping with Nessus, Qualys, and OpenVAS
• Blue Team, Red Team, and Purple Team operations with DevSecOps pipelines
Master the Kill Chain by applying industry-leading tools and global frameworks to excel in offensive security, incident response, threat hunting, and multi-cloud compliance.
