IS 368  -  Security Operations

(3.00 cr.)

This capstone course builds practical skills in security monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and day-to-day security operations. Students gain an applied understanding of how security operations centers (SOCs) operate, including roles, workflows, and decision-making during cyber incidents. Through guided exercises and simulations, students learn how to use security monitoring and analysis tools to detect threats, investigate alerts, and respond to incidents from initial identification through containment and recovery. The course uses free, open-source security tools such as Security Onion, Zeek, Suricata, Wireshark, ELK Stack components, and MITRE ATT&CK resources to provide hands-on exposure to real-world security operations and threat detection.
