TTP-Based Threat Hunting & Detection Engineer

Training Description: TTP-Based Threat Hunting & Detection Engineer

Course Overview

The TTP-Based Threat Hunting & Detection Engineer training is designed for cybersecurity professionals who wish to deepen their skills in identifying, detecting, and hunting threats based on the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) used by attackers. This program provides an in-depth understanding of the techniques cybercriminals use and teaches security analysts how to detect them before they cause damage. Focusing on TTP-based analysis and attack patterns, you will learn how to design and implement advanced threat-hunting strategies to detect, analyze, and neutralize targeted attacks in a networked environment.

Training Objectives

• Understand the concepts of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) used in cyberattacks.
• Learn how to use TTPs to structure a proactive threat-hunting and detection approach.
• Gain hands-on skills to identify malicious attacks by analyzing suspicious behaviors and attack patterns.
• Implement TTP-based detection techniques using modern cybersecurity tools.
• Utilize data collection, behavioral analysis, and incident management tools to strengthen threat detection and response.
• Develop real-time analysis capabilities to intercept ongoing or imminent attacks.

Training Program

1. Introduction to TTP-Based Threat Hunting

• What is threat hunting and why is it critical in modern cybersecurity?
• Definition of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP): Understanding the ATT&CK model.
• Why TTPs are more effective than traditional signature-based detection.

2. Threat Hunting Concepts and Methodologies

• Overview of threat-hunting methodologies based on TTPs.
• The difference between reactive and proactive approaches to threat detection.
• Data collection and analysis: logs, events, network traffic, and other intelligence sources.

3. Mapping ATT&CK Techniques to TTP Attack Methods

• How to link TTPs to ATT&CK tactics and specific attack indicators.
• Identifying attack patterns and how they manifest in the IT environment.
• Using the ATT&CK Framework to structure threat hunting and understand attacker behavior.

4. Detection and Identification of Threats Based on TTPs

• Techniques for identifying signs of TTP-based attacks.
• Detecting malicious behaviors in networks and systems through behavioral analysis and attack signatures.
• Using analysis and monitoring tools for detecting TTP-based threats (e.g., SIEM, EDR, XDR).

5. Utilizing Threat Hunting Tools

• Exploring data collection, anomaly detection, and incident management tools.
• Configuring and using SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) for TTP detection.
• Automating threat detection and hunting: setting up scripts and playbooks.

6. Advanced Threat Hunting Techniques

• Hunting for Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) using TTPs.
• Identifying suspicious behaviors such as lateral movement, privilege escalation, and zero-day attacks.
• Analyzing Indicators of Compromise (IOC) and persistence tactics to detect evolving threats.

7. Incident Response and Post-Incident Analysis

• How to respond to a detected threat during the threat-hunting process: isolation, risk assessment, and corrective actions.
• The importance of forensics in threat hunting: case studies and analyzing traces left by attackers.
• Integrating threat hunting with incident and vulnerability management processes.

8. Practical Exercises: Applying TTPs in a Real Environment

• Implementing learned techniques and tools to hunt threats in simulated environments.
• Identifying and analyzing TTP-based attack techniques, followed by the appropriate response.
• Solving real-world cybersecurity scenarios using the methodologies and tools taught.

9. Conclusion and Best Practices

• Recap of best practices for TTP-based threat hunting and detection.
• Tips for improving detection effectiveness by integrating threat hunting into cybersecurity strategies.
• Developing a continuous approach to stay updated with new attacker techniques and tactics.
