CyberOps Automation

Turn your security operations centre into a force multiplier. We train your analysts and engineers to automate detection, triage, and response so the team spends its hours on the threats that matter — not the alerts that don't.

Overview

Security operations teams do not fail for lack of effort. They fail because the volume of alerts outpaces the number of humans available to read them. Every hour an analyst spends copying indicators between tools, chasing context across dashboards, or closing the same false positive for the hundredth time is an hour not spent on the intrusion that actually matters.

CyberOps Automation is a hands-on programme that changes that economics. Rather than teaching automation as an abstract discipline, we work inside the realities of a modern SOC — the noise, the tooling sprawl, the pressure on mean-time-to-respond — and give your people the skills to remove repetitive work permanently.

Participants learn to decide what should be automated and what must keep a human in the loop, to design playbooks that hold up under production noise, and to wire SOAR, SIEM, EDR, ticketing, and threat intelligence into a single coherent response flow. By the end, the team leaves not with slideware but with a working library of automation mapped to their own highest-volume alerts — and the confidence to keep extending it long after the course ends.

The result is a security operation that scales with threat volume instead of buckling under it: faster response, fewer false positives, and analysts who spend their expertise where it counts.

Who it's for

  • SOC analysts and tier 1–3 responders drowning in alert volume
  • Detection engineers and threat hunters building reusable content
  • Security engineering and platform teams owning the SOAR/SIEM stack
  • Security leaders measuring mean-time-to-respond and analyst burnout

What's covered

  • Automation strategy — where to automate, where to keep a human in the loop
  • Building and tuning detections that survive contact with production noise
  • Playbook design for triage, enrichment, containment, and escalation
  • Integrating SOAR with SIEM, EDR, ticketing, and threat-intel feeds
  • API-driven enrichment and case management at scale
  • Measuring outcomes — MTTR, false-positive rate, analyst time recovered

Format & delivery

  • Instructor-led, delivered on-site or live virtual
  • Hands-on labs against a realistic SOC environment
  • Cohort sizes tuned to your team — typically 6 to 16
  • Two to four days, scoped to your maturity and tooling
  • Tailored to your existing SOAR/SIEM platform on request

Outcomes

  • Analysts who can build, test, and ship automation independently
  • A library of playbooks mapped to your highest-volume alert types
  • Measurable reduction in manual triage time and false positives
  • A shared operating model the whole SOC follows

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a specific SOAR or SIEM platform to take part?

No. The principles are platform-agnostic and the labs cover the patterns common to every major stack. Where you tell us your tooling in advance, we tailor the hands-on exercises to it.

Is this for analysts or engineers?

Both. The programme is structured so tier 1–2 analysts gain confidence writing and running automation, while detection engineers go deeper on content design and integration architecture.

How disruptive is this to live operations?

Labs run against a dedicated training environment, never your production SOC. Teams typically attend in cohorts so coverage is maintained throughout.

Can the content be tailored to our alert types?

Yes. We can build the playbook exercises around your real highest-volume alerts so the work transfers straight back to the floor.
