Welcome to the course!
If you’re eager to explore the world of cyber incidents and incident management, you’re in the right place! Get ready to dive into the daily life of a Security Operations Center (SOC) to gain a better understanding of the professional activities involved and the complete incident processing chain.
Meet Your Teacher
Romain du Marais is an independent cybersecurity consultant and popularizer. By day, he conducts penetration tests and helps companies respond to incidents. By night, he invents new ways to communicate with the general public about cybersecurity on YouTube and Twitch.

Discover the Case Study Used in this Course
During this course, you will play the role of a recent cybersecurity graduate. You’ve been hired by Méditronique to help them set up a SOC, a security incident detection and response team.
Méditronique is a manufacturer of medical devices (syringes, filters, infusion devices, etc.) and connected medical devices (automated infusion devices, etc.). From production to distribution, Méditronique is active in multiple countries, and its information system includes several hundred servers!
Méditronique already has its own cybersecurity teams, who decided that it was necessary to set up a SOC, considering the potential risks to the organization and the size of the Information System (IS). In particular, they acknowledged that the ransomware threat has increased significantly in recent years. The purpose of the new SOC is to detect and respond to security incidents that could pose a threat to Méditronique.
The role of the SOC is to monitor and defend Méditronique’s IS, but not to provide security to its customers for Méditronique devices they’ve purchased.
When you arrive, you meet Alice, an experienced analyst working on the creation of Méditronique’s new SOC. Alice will help you every step of your way through the course, and she’ll test your skills as an analyst. Everything has already been prepared for your team, and you’re officially the first team member to be onboarded.
