Why this program matters

Without mastery of supervision and analysis of advanced Windows events, 75% of persistent intrusions go unnoticed, leaving your infrastructure vulnerable to silent attacks.
An undetected breach costs a company an average of 4,5 millions d’euros, with an average response time of 280 jours multiplied by the absence of fine logs.
System administrators and SOC analysts waste 40% of their time on false positives or inefficient manual analyses, exposing the company to RGPD sanctions and loss of customers.
Each quarter without these skills equates to a 20% risk of a major incident, directly threatening business viability and your career.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

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.
Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.

Step 2

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.

Live briefing on goals and team context.
Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.

Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
Program co-written then validated by your team.

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.
