FAQ

Do I need a security background?+
No. Basic networking and operating system knowledge helps; the course starts with security fundamentals before moving to SOC tools and investigations.
Which SIEM tools will I use?+
You practise on SIEM and log tools used in real SOCs. See the full syllabus for the current tool list.
Are the classes live or recorded?+
Live with a trainer. Session recordings are shared with you for revision, so you can catch up if you miss a class.
Will the batch times suit my time zone?+
Batches run in US evenings (Eastern and Central time) and on weekend mornings, which also suit Pacific time. Tell us your city and we'll confirm the slot that suits you best.
Do I get a certificate?+
Yes, a SOTT certificate of completion. Vendor exams (CompTIA, Cisco, AWS, Microsoft, CNCF and others) are booked and paid with the provider, and we prepare you for them.
