What you'll learn

Modern enterprises generate an overwhelming volume of logs and artifacts, making manual threat detection impossible. In this course, Threat Hunt with PowerShell, you’ll learn to wield PowerShell as a unified hunting platform. First, you’ll explore techniques to surface hidden persistence mechanisms on the file system and in memory. Next, you’ll discover how to interrogate Active Directory for rogue administrators and replication abuse. Finally, you’ll learn to pivot your hunts to the cloud by analyzing Azure and Microsoft 365 telemetry. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll be able to rapidly develop PowerShell‑based hunts that uncover adversary activity before it escalates.
