Scripting Essentials (PROG-I)
Advanced Persistent Threats rely on the use of efficient code to automate processes and execute commands that are oftentimes fileless or at the very least altered to avoid detection. These efficiencies are critical to network defenders that seek to go "toe-to-toe" with cyber attackers. By covering a wide array of programming essentials which provide security researchers and operators with the foundational knowledge needed to conduct professional and efficient security tasks, the concepts of advanced security become far more accessible.
