Kaspersky, a cybersecurity company, recently released a new cybersecurity course called Suricata for Incident Response and Threat Hunting. This course aims to teach students how to create and apply Suricata rules to identify and prevent the most sophisticated threats.
Companies need to realize that a comprehensive security plan is more important than ever in light of the constantly-changing nature of threats. IT security professionals need access to multiple data sources, such as Suricata, an open-source detection engine that can function as an IDS or an IPS, as well as perform network security monitoring (NSM) and offline packet capture (pcap) processing, in order to gain a complete picture of the security posture of the company’s network.
Everything from the fundamentals of network protocols and the structure of Suricata rules to more sophisticated elements of how to construct them is covered in the Kaspersky Expert Training course on Suricata. In this course, learners will become proficient in analysing suspicious traffic and spotting false positives, as well as using frameworks for responding to attacks in real-time. In addition to theoretical underpinnings, the course presents students with practical situations based on actual dangers.

“We’ve tried to gather all our experience so the most useful tips and recommendations on how to use Suricata effectively are available to those who would like to enhance their skills in threat hunting. Together with each student, we will study step-by-step how to write rules and analyse network traffic. We hope it will help our listeners to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape”, said Tatyana Shishkova, Lead Security Researcher (GReAT) at Kaspersky.
Kaspersky claims that the training is beneficial for companies trying to strengthen their security strategy and individuals interested in developing their skills in the field of threat detection.
The course’s on-demand style is fantastic for studying when it’s most convenient for you, and the organized videos and hands-on labs ensure that students learn well.
