Course Overview
Elastic (ELK) Security Engineer equips professionals with the skills to build and operate a modern SIEM using Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. The course focuses on real-world SOC use cases including log ingestion, detection engineering, and threat hunting workflows.
Through mentor-led sessions and hands-on labs, learners will configure pipelines, create dashboards, and develop detection rules for identifying suspicious activity. The programme also explores how to analyse logs effectively and respond to security events using ELK.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to deploy ELK for security monitoring, perform threat hunting, and support incident response operations. This course is ideal for those working in or transitioning into SOC and blue team roles.
