Aegis is a self study, performance based certification and it is the first step of AAR (Aegis, Alpha, Ranger) path to provide great baseline for multidisciplinary approach. In Addition, it establishes a good set of baselines for Tier 1 and Tier 2 SOC Analysts within the coverage of both offensive and investigative skills and strategic/critical thinking mindset.

Cyber Struggle AEGIS Overview
AEGIS Coverage
A security operations center (SOC) is a facility that houses an cyber security team responsible for monitoring and analyzing an organization’s security posture on an ongoing basis. The SOC team’s goal is to detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity incidents using a combination of technology solutions and a strong set of processes.
As cyber security becomes a never ending struggle; traditional, product oriented, product expert centric approaches are just not suitable to manage the process. It requires hybrid expertise and mindset.
In order to detect, analyze and response efficiently, SOC Analysts should have solid knowledge for offensive methods and techniques.
Offensive Lab
With offensive lab, candidates are introduced to attacking systems and to the penetration testing process
Investigative Lab
With investigation lab, candidates get hands on experience to analyze logs, traffic, malware, common attacks and detection techniques
Standalone Missions
Standalone missions feed candidates to help them to think out of the box and to provide solutions for different set of attack cases
Regular Reports
Candidates write regular reports for detection, investigation process. There are also prioritization and strategy building reports in place
Strategic/Tactical Thinking
Candidates increase their strategical and tactical thinking with different story based different attacks and standalone missions
Uncertainty Doctrine
Like real life cases, candidates have low visibility about standalone missions, timing of the attack they would face. Candidates need to improve adaptive thinking skills
Self Study
There is no teaching video in the process as part of on the job principle. Candidates improve their skills with on the job attacks and standalone missions
Intense Exercise
Whole certification process is performance based learning. So that, candidates always learn with exercises covering offensive, investigative and strategy related topics
