If you’re working on leveling up your — or your team’s — cybersecurity skills, I want to share something I genuinely wish existed when I first got started. Over the last decade in cybersecurity, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again: talented analysts stuck in skills chaos - bouncing between YouTube videos, scattered labs, CTFs, and courses. Busy, but not effective. So I sat down and recorded a short breakdown of the exact roadmap I would follow today if I had to start over. In the video I go through real world cases, how to think about them, and the core skills and approaches analyst needs to understand. Here’s what we covered: ✔️ Why “skills chaos” keeps analysts from progressing ✔️ What the most common real-world threat scenarios look like ✔️ How to build analyst skills that actually matter - step by step ✔️ How our training roadmap exposes you to these exact real-world cases This is the roadmap I wish someone handed me a decade ago and I hope it helps you level up faster and more confidently going into 2026. 🎥 Watch the full walkthrough here →  https://lnkd.in/gBtNMFnF ---- 👉 P.S.

The third DFIR case has just been released: IR003 - Stealthy Network Breach and Escalation! 🔥 This case features a highly realistic, advanced, end-to-end attack scenario as we see it on a daily basis: Compromised VPN credentials that lead to stealthy C2 communication, leading to BYOVD exploits to impair Defender followed by lateral movement, privilege escalation and DCSync activity - It’s the kind of case every analyst should be familiar with and a great one to dig into. Attack techniques highlights: - Compromised accounts - .NET reflection execution (IronPython) - BYOVD to Impair Defenses - Encrypted C2 - Process injection - Credential access: LSASS dumping / DCSync - Lateral movement - Defender alerts Threat Groups overlap: - FIN7 / Carbon Spider - APT41 (Wicked Panda / Double Dragon) - APT29 (Cozy Bear / Nobelium) - BlackCat / ALPHV - FIN12 / Wizard Spider (Conti/Ryuk) - LockBit Case Solutions:  The case includes a complete incident timeline, detailed TTP highlights, threat-actor overlap analysis, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, and a final “key takeaways for defenders” section—summarizing the most important lessons based on the behaviors observed in this attack. Link: https://lnkd.in/ge8bwZ8W --- With this release: The IR300 DFIR Investigations are now fully live!
