Why this program matters

  • Without mastering threat detection with Sigma Rules, your SIEM alerts drown analysts under 80% false positives, wasting 35% of their daily time.

  • Each month, that equates to 150 hours lost per SOC, or more than 40,000 € in evaporated productivity and missed real threat opportunities.

  • 70% of major breaches are tied to faulty normalization, leading to average losses of 4.2 million € per incident and GDPR fines up to 4% of revenue.

  • Your SOC team stagnates and your company stays vulnerable: the next incident could ruin careers and reputations.

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
