Introduction
EC Council’s Certified SOC Analyst (CSA) program is the first step to joining a security operations centre (SOC). It is engineered for current and aspiring Tier I and Tier II SOC analysts to achieve proficiency in performing entry level and intermediate-level operations.
CSA is a training and credentialing program that helps the candidate acquire trending and in-demand technical skills through instruction by some of the most experienced trainers in the industry. The program focuses on creating new career opportunities through extensive, meticulous knowledge with enhanced level capabilities for dynamically contributing to a SOC team.
The lab-intensive CSA program emphasizes the holistic approach to deliver elementary as well as advanced knowledge of how to identify and validate intrusion attempts. Through this, the candidate will learn to use SIEM solutions and predictive capabilities using threat intelligence. The program also introduces the practical aspect of SIEM using advanced and the most frequently used tools. The candidate will learn to perform enhanced threat detection using the predictive capabilities of Threat Intelligence.

EC-Council Overview
To beat a hacker, you need to think like one…
Ethical Hacking is the process of proactively penetrating systems, to which one has official permission to do so, with a view to determining whether vulnerabilities exist and then to undertake the necessary preventive, corrective, and protective countermeasures before an actual compromise to the systems can occur.
Torque IT’s authorised EC-Council training, and associated certification, solutions empower you to identify vulnerabilities and to assess the security posture of target systems. EC-Council certifications are universally recognised as demonstrating a high level of expertise and credibility for individuals and the organisations that employ them.
Torque IT being an EC-Council Accredited Training Center (ATC) has been the recipient of EC-Council’s most prestigious ATC of the year awards for 2016, 2014 and EC-Council’s Circle of Excellence Awards for 2015.
These achievements reflect our commitment to providing you with quality skills development, enablement, training, and certification solutions that demonstrate exceptional quality, depth and breadth.
