OpenEDR Deployment & Telemetry Collection

  • Installation and configuration of OpenEDR agents on Windows endpoints
  • Server-side components, data ingestion pipelines, and storage strategies
  • Setting up telemetry sources, along with event normalization and enrichment processes

Understanding Endpoint Telemetry & Event Modeling

  • Key endpoint event types, fields, and their alignment with ATT&CK techniques
  • Strategies for event filtering, correlation, and noise reduction
  • Deriving reliable detection signals from low-fidelity telemetry data

Mapping Detections to MITRE ATT&CK

  • Converting telemetry into ATT&CK technique coverage while identifying detection gaps
  • Utilizing ATT&CK Navigator and documenting mapping decisions
  • Prioritizing hunting techniques based on risk profiles and telemetry availability

Threat Hunting Methodologies

  • Comparing hypothesis-driven hunting with indicator-led investigations
  • Developing hunt playbooks and iterative discovery workflows
  • Hands-on labs: detecting lateral movement, persistence, and privilege escalation patterns

Detection Engineering & Tuning

  • Crafting detection rules using event correlation and behavioral baselines
  • Testing and tuning rules to minimize false positives and measure effectiveness
  • Creating reusable signatures and analytic content across the environment

Incident Response & Root Cause Analysis with OpenEDR

  • Leveraging OpenEDR to triage alerts, investigate incidents, and build attack timelines
  • Collecting forensic artifacts, preserving evidence, and managing chain-of-custody
  • Integrating findings into IR playbooks and remediation workflows

Automation, Orchestration & Integration

  • Automating routine hunts and alert enrichment via scripts and connectors
  • Integrating OpenEDR with SIEM, SOAR, and threat intelligence platforms
  • Addressing scaling, retention, and operational needs for enterprise deployments

Advanced Use Cases & Red Team Collaboration

  • Simulating adversary behavior for validation through purple-team exercises and ATT&CK-based emulation
  • Case studies: real-world hunts and post-incident analysis
  • Designing continuous improvement cycles for detection coverage

Capstone Lab & Presentations

  • Guided capstone: executing a full hunt from hypothesis to containment and root cause analysis using lab scenarios
  • Participant presentations of findings and recommended mitigations
  • Course wrap-up, distribution of materials, and recommended next steps

Requirements
