This competition course is designed to challenge
student candidates how to make decisions regarding protection of operational assets through the
analysis, comparison, and selection of advanced security tools, methodologies, and
implementation options. Additionally, student candidates will research and develop a
competition report, summary video, and presentation that at a minimum will include
methodologies for deploying end-to-end attack detection, alert triage, threat hunting,
investigation, orchestration, and automated response activities.
