Ultimately, this learning path supports enterprises in strengthening their security posture while optimizing network performance and operational efficiency.

IT leaders must navigate complex challenges while driving efficiency and innovation through automation. This learning path equips IT decision-makers with the essential skills to assess their current automation landscape, prioritize initiatives, and develop a structured, actionable execution plan. By the end of this learning path, IT leaders will have a well-defined strategy and execution plan to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance IT agility through automation.

It was a quiet Friday night when the alerts hit—rogue Kerberos tickets spiking from a Pass-the-Hash attack. With 14 years in the SOC trenches, I, Shoaib Mohammed Shahapuri, saw my Tier 1 analyst, Morgan, catch the first anomaly, but it was Riley, our red teamer, who nearly owned the domain—stopped just in time. That close call inspired this Intermediate Threat Detection & Incident Response Learning Path—a 13-hour journey designed to elevate your career from Tier 1 to Tier 2/3. You'll master early-stage detection with Falcon XDR and Security Onion to catch initial access like hash captures; escalate alerts with Morgan and Alex using SOAR; track APT29-style campaigns with Alex and Taylor through Falcon Intelligence; defend Active Directory from Kerberoasting with Falcon ITDR; and fine-tune noisy detections from fileless malware using XDR and network-based tools. Each hands-on lab simulates Riley's full attack chain—credential theft, privilege escalation, lateral movement—so you can build the skills that lead to promotions and high-paying roles. Ready to outsmart Riley and level up your SOC career? Let's dive in.

Learn about Palo Alto Cortex XDR, Palo Alto's extended detection and response platform that natively integrates network, endpoint, cloud, and third-party data to stop modern attacks. In this Learning Path, you will explore the architecture on which Cortex XDR runs, as well as look into the deployment of Cortex XDR agents and the creation of profiles and policies. You will also learn about the detection and response capabilities that are provided by Cortex XDR.
