Blue Team Foundations (NIST/MITRE)

Blue Team Foundations (NIST/MITRE)

This course builds a solid defense base for anyone new to security. You’ll learn the NIST Cybersecurity Framework in plain terms and see how it guides risk, controls, and priorities. We map common threats to MITRE ATT&CK, so you understand how attackers move and what detections to build.

In labs you’ll harden Windows and Linux, set basic logging, and practice patch and backup routines. You’ll create a simple baseline checklist for a small company and test it in a home or cloud lab. We keep the focus on the day-to-day: what to turn on, what to monitor, and how to track improvements.

You leave with a practical plan you can apply at work and a clear view of next steps in a security career (SOC, IR, or compliance support).

What You’ll Learn?

• NIST CSF basics and control families
• Threats and common attack paths
• How to harden Windows/Linux endpoints
• Use MITRE ATT&CK to map detections
