Best training for incident response

Question

Hello Everyone,

I would like to develop my understanding of Windows, with the focus on tools that can help find/remove threat actors from the system and help create a timeline to make a clear picture of what actually happend.

I would like to learn more about: Command promt, Powershell, Registery, event viewer and all other tools that can be helpful for this purpose.

I know I could find a lot of stuff online, but I was wondering if there is something microsoft provides that would cover these topics.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

TJ

Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Microsoft has a related certification about it.

Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate

The Microsoft security operations analyst collaborates with organizational stakeholders to secure information technology systems for the organization. Their goal is to reduce organizational risk by rapidly remediating active attacks in the environment, advising on improvements to threat protection practices, and referring violations of organizational policies to appropriate stakeholders. Responsibilities include threat management, monitoring, and response by using a variety of security solutions across their environment. The role primarily investigates, responds to, and hunts for threats using Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft 365 Defender, and third-party security products. Since the security operations analyst consumes the operational output of these tools, they are also a critical stakeholder in the configuration and deployment of these technologies.

Hope this helps!
