It looks like I'm going to be building and teaching a Blue Teaming / Security Operations course for the Fall 2023 semester.
What do you think are the most important topics I should cover? What do you want new grads on your defensive security team to know?
Boost for reach, please!
The OSI model. Seriously. Understanding the layers that controls affect and simply tracing a packet though the various layers is a lifelong IT/Security skill. Even if something is a "black box" understanding what layers that black box interacts with can be enlightening.
Social Skills, clear communication, DevOps culture (think Phoenix Project). Very few security skills in security that don't build on basic IT concepts.
Definitely agree! I love the "dual class" nod. Great parallel!
