Certified SOC Analyst v2 (CSA)

Certified SOC Analyst v2 (CSA) develops practical capability in security operations, telemetry, SIEM, detection, alert triage, investigation, incident response, threat hunting, metrics, and improvement.

Learners progress through SOC Operating Model, Roles, Telemetry, Logging, SIEM, and Use-Case Design; Alert Triage, Enrichment, Prioritization, Investigation, and Escalation; Incident Response, Threat Hunting, Malware Context, and Containment Support; and Metrics, Quality Assurance, Playbooks, Automation, and Maturity Improvement. Each stage connects EC-Council concepts with implementation decisions, operational controls, troubleshooting, and reviewable evidence.

The learning journey follows a security operations team must convert high-volume telemetry into accurate detections, prioritized investigations, coordinated response, and measurable service improvement and produces a practical SOC use-case catalog, investigation casebook, response playbooks, and metrics dashboard for implementation and operational use.
