- Review of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and core threat-hunting principles.
OpenEDR Deployment and Telemetry Collection
- Installing and configuring OpenEDR agents on Windows endpoints.
- Details on server components, data ingestion pipelines, and storage considerations.
- Configuring telemetry sources, event normalization, and enrichment processes.
Understanding Endpoint Telemetry and Event Modeling
- Key endpoint event types, fields, and their mapping to ATT&CK techniques.
- Strategies for event filtering, correlation, and noise reduction.
- Developing reliable detection signals from low-fidelity telemetry.
Mapping Detections to MITRE ATT&CK
- Translating telemetry into ATT&CK technique coverage and identifying detection gaps.
- Utilizing ATT&CK Navigator and documenting mapping decisions.
- Prioritizing techniques for hunting based on risk profiles and telemetry availability.
Threat Hunting Methodologies
- Comparing hypothesis-driven hunting with indicator-led investigations.
- Developing hunt playbooks and iterative discovery workflows.
- Hands-on hunting labs focusing on identifying lateral movement, persistence, and privilege escalation patterns.
Detection Engineering and Tuning
- Designing detection rules using event correlation and behavioral baselines.
- Testing rules, tuning to minimize false positives, and measuring effectiveness.
- Creating signatures and analytic content for reuse across the environment.
Incident Response and Root Cause Analysis with OpenEDR

It did give me the insight what I needed :) I am starting teaching on a BTEC Level 3 qualification and wanted to widen my knowledge in this area.
