Telemetry Sources & Sensors
The Telemetry Sources & Sensors course provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of the data sources that power modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs). Learners will explore how security telemetry is generated, collected, processed, and utilized for threat detection, investigation, and incident response. The course covers endpoint, network, identity, cloud, and SaaS telemetry, along with the sensors and technologies used to capture security-relevant data. Through practical exercises, learners will develop the ability to identify appropriate telemetry sources, assess visibility gaps, and design effective monitoring strategies.
Course Overview
Security monitoring is only as effective as the visibility available to analysts. This course focuses on the critical role of telemetry in cybersecurity by teaching learners how security data is collected from various systems and transformed into actionable insights. Participants will gain hands-on experience working with common telemetry sources such as Windows Event Logs, Sysmon, EDR, IDS/IPS, Active Directory, cloud audit logs, and SaaS application logs. By understanding telemetry pipelines, normalization, enrichment, and coverage assessment, learners will be prepared to support SIEM operations, detection engineering, and security investigations.
