The Solarwinds Supply Chain Attack was a significant and shocking punch to the cybersecurity world. It marked the first time we'd seen in a supply chain attack in public executed at such a large scale. One of the top cybersecurity firms in the world ended up being compromised due to this attack. In this course, we will take a technical deep dive into how to look for some of the IoC's or Indicators of Compromise associated with that hack. This course will require hands-on exercises to complete the associated project. We recommend you complete the rest of the courses in this path before attempting this one as the hands-on builds from the deep dives in the rest of this path.

The course material was great, but I wish that the practical files were available so that I could actually practice using the tools as directed.
