Why study this course

The Conducting Threat Hunting and Defending using Cisco Technologies for Cybersecurity (CBRTHD) training course introduces and guides you to a proactive security search through networks, endpoints, and datasets to hunt for malicious, suspicious, and risky activities that may have evaded detection by existing tools. In this training, you will learn the core concepts, methods, and processes used in threat hunting investigations. Threat hunting involves going beyond what Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts already know or have been alerted to. Traditional cyber detection technologies will only identify malicious risks and behaviors. The art of threat hunting is about venturing into the unknown. In this training, you will learn the core concepts, methods, and processes used in threat hunting investigations. This training provides an environment for attack simulation and threat hunting skill development using a wide array of security products and platforms from Cisco and third-party vendors. You will perform genuine threat hunting exercises within simulated network environments.

This training prepares you for the 300-220 CBRTHD v1.0 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Threat Hunting and Defending certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Cybersecurity certification.

This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
