What this is
AttackIQ Academy teaches you to think in the attacker's logic and to test your own defences against it. The courses are short, each with its own certificate, and are tied directly to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
ATT&CK is the shared language of SOC vacancies today: it is the terminology employers write their requirements in. That makes these certificates read more specifically than a generic cyber security course.
Who it is for
Anyone who already knows the basics and is heading towards SOC or threat detection work.
