Splunk Training with Real-World Investigations

What you'll learn

---

Investigate real security incidents in Splunk using Sysmon, Windows Security, and PowerShell logs
Write core SPL commands - search, stats, table, timechart, dedup, eval - to find and filter threats
3. Map attacker behavior to MITRE ATT&CK across Discovery, Defense Evasion, and Collection tactics
4. Tell true positives from false positives using evidence, not assumptions or surface-level signals
Requirements

---

No prior SOC, Splunk, or cybersecurity experience required. We start from what a log actually is and build up to full investigations step by step.
Description

---

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Most Splunk courses teach you commands. This one teaches you to actually think like a SOC analyst.
You'll start with the basics - what a log is, how Splunk searches work, the SPL commands you'll use every day. Then you'll dive into 14 real investigations, built from real Windows logs (Sysmon, Security, PowerShell). Each one starts with just a ticket - no answers given. You'll dig through the evidence, cross-check sources, and decide for yourself: is this an attack, or nothing at all?
Along the way you'll learn to spot the tricks that trip up new analysts - like trusting a signed publisher name that turns out to be irrelevant, or missing the one command-line flag that changes everything.
This course also covers MITRE ATT&CK, so the techniques you investigate map to language the industry actually uses. Every incident is mapped to a real tactic - Discovery, Defense Evasion, Collection - so what you learn here carries directly into interviews and real SOC work, not just this course.
By the end, you won't just know Splunk syntax. You'll have actually investigated something, 14 times over.
No prior experience needed. If you can read a log line, you can start.
