Course Suggestions (I have some, where do they go?) DFIR Suggestions

---

Hey everyone,

I have some course suggestions. I have been transitioning from being "Red" heavy to "Blue" heavy... I have a list of some things I would love to see. In doing so I have been reading many text books and have noticed a trend: There are so many aids, videos etc. for going offensive. But the DFIR side has so much more beyond just knowing enough to get certified.
There are some deeper dives into specific skill sets needed for truly defending against the dark arts. Since I am already typing I might as well list them out.
[+] Malware Detection (Hunting)
[+] Malware Reverse Engineering and Analysis
[+] Setting up a malware safe lab (Honeypots?)
[+] Threat Hunting
[+] Building Elastic Stacks, Deploying Agents and building security focused dashboards in Kibana
[+] Memory Analysis
[+] Security focused log collection and analysis
[+] SOC Analyst skills (Very broad I know) - SIEM Operations

I know many IT Professionals and managers are cert focused.... but these are really valuable skills that usually just get a wave top explanation. Some deep dive videos would be amazing.

May I humbly suggest Tyler Hudak for the Malware Reverse Engineering.

If this is the wrong place to plop this down- my sincere apologies.

Cheers!

@james,
No problems posting this here. To make sure they are on our official course request list, you want to go to the course library and click on the link for course request. This is the official list that is used by ITProTV. It gives you a chance make sure it's heard and others can upvote these ideas too.

The more votes, normally means the more likely hood those can get done, especially if they're in our "Wheelhouse." If not, it may still get done but requires us to look for an external Subject Matter Expert to see if we can get it done.

Step #1, get it on the list, or some of the ones you've mentioned are on the list, you can upvote those.

Ronnie,

Thanks! I will be sure to do that!

Cheers
