Problem Statement When threats reach endpoints, traditional antivirus often fails to catch or lags behind behavioral attacks. Many professionals face situations where, after an incident, it's clear something went wrong, but it's hard to quickly determine how the attacker moved through the system, which processes were involved, and how to stop similar activity in real time. You want to learn how to actively search for signs of compromise on endpoints, analyze behavior, and respond before damage becomes irreversible.

Solution This plan helps you systematically understand endpoint protection and detection mechanisms. We go step-by-step through how modern behavior monitoring tools work, how to collect and analyze telemetry in real time, and how to apply approaches for finding hidden threats.

What's Inside

• Module 1: Endpoint protection basics — evolution from signature-based AV to behavioral analysis, what EDR is and how it differs from EPP/NGAV.
• Module 2: Telemetry collection — what data agents gather (processes, network connections, file changes, registry, PowerShell, etc.), how to set logging levels without overloading the system.
• Module 3: Real-time detection — behavioral analysis rules, machine learning for anomalies, indicators of compromise (IOC) vs indicators of attack (IOA).
• Module 4: Process and chain analysis — breaking down attack trees (e.g., living-off-the-land, LOLBins), reading parent-child relationships, command-line arguments, and scripts.
• Module 5: Threat hunting on endpoints — hypothesis-driven searching, using queries (e.g., osquery-like), finding persistence (scheduled tasks, registry run keys, WMI subscriptions).
• Module 6: Real scenario breakdowns — analyzing typical TTPs (focus on MITRE ATT&CK), detecting lateral movement, credential dumping, defense evasion on devices.
• Module 7: Response and isolation — quickly isolating a host, collecting forensic artifacts, rolling back changes, integration with other SOC tools.
• Additional materials: hunting query examples, detection rule templates, endpoint audit checklists, self-check questions.

Who is this for?

✅ Perfect if you've already worked with logs, basic monitoring tools, or cloud environments, understand OS processes, and want to move into active threat searching and analysis on endpoints.

❌ Not for you if you're just starting or haven't covered cloud security yet — complete Cloud Plan or Free Plan first for the foundation.

What You'll Learn

• Understand what data an EDR agent collects and how to use it for detection.
• Analyze process chains and spot suspicious behavior (e.g., rundll32.exe with unusual parameters).
• Conduct hypothesis-driven threat hunting using endpoint queries.
• Recognize defense evasion techniques (living-off-the-land binaries, obfuscation).
• Respond quickly to detected threats: isolation, evidence collection, remediation recommendations.
• Apply MITRE ATT&CK approaches to build device-level detection strategies.

This plan is designed for those who want to shift from reactive monitoring to proactive threat searching. In modern attacks, endpoints are often the entry or spread point, and understanding behavioral analysis allows detecting what signatures miss. The materials include detailed telemetry examples (screenshots, JSON-like process outputs, network connections), attack chain diagrams, and explanations of “why this process is suspicious.”
