Course description
This project consists of reviewing an alert for suspicious AV/Endpoint activity and connecting the dots between the event that occurred and what actions need to be taken to remediate it. Together, we will walk through a scenario, use the collected artifacts/telemetry in order to confirm our assumptions about the event and create a short write up about our findings.
