Description of What Is Blue Team Cyber Security: Defense Bootcamp
This intensive bootcamp focuses exclusively on the blue team side of cyber security, equipping learners with practical defense skills to protect systems, analyze threats, and build strong security measures. While many courses focus on red team tactics and penetration testing, this program trains you to think and act like a true blue team member—monitoring systems, defending assets, and responding to incidents.
From endpoint security and patch management to log correlation, firewalls, Active Directory security, and real-world intrusion detection systems, this course offers a detailed exploration of what it takes to protect an organization. Whether you're analyzing digital footprints, configuring antivirus software, or defending against lateral movement, you’ll work through real-world challenges that security professionals face every day.
- Use blue team skill sets to identify threats and defend systems
- Harden Linux and Windows systems using benchmarks and tools
- Detect and respond to potential security incidents effectively
- Monitor traffic analysis and log aggregation to identify attacks
- Understand how blue teams work with red teams and purple teams
- Gain insight into event management and security infrastructure
- Improve organizational defenses through risk analysis and security policies
By completing this course, you'll be equipped to operate essential security technologies, manage security systems effectively, and help defend against real-world attacks. You'll also understand how to support security personnel, configure antivirus software, and play an active role in your organization's defense and response capabilities.

Course Instructor
Jonathan Elliott has been passionate about computers since he was six. At 13, he delved into packet-switched networks and scripting in a Pascal-based language via SCAR Divi. He then focused on web-based vulnerabilities and expanded his knowledge to general cybersecurity, becoming proficient in various programming languages, network security, and endpoint hardening.
Jonathan's expertise includes generalized networking, penetration testing, and risk analysis, primarily focusing on defensive security. He actively furthers his education by attending conferences, listening to podcasts, and participating in the information security community. Jonathan also engages in cybersecurity clubs and non-competitive CTF challenges like Hack The Box. His passion for the field grows stronger as he seeks new learning opportunities.

Testimonials
Luis G.
Before this course, I had no idea how blue team exercises differed from red team operations. Now I can confidently simulate real world attacks, recognize social engineering techniques, and assess our overall security posture. The training helped me understand how our team identifies threats and monitors the network perimeter for potential breaches.
Nina K.
From the start, this training stood out. I finally understood how security tools fit into our risk intelligence analysis framework and how regular security audits strengthen an organization's defenses against sophisticated attack techniques.
Jared M.
I took this course to sharpen my detection capabilities and it overdelivered. The sections on security awareness, purple team coordination, and simulating potential threats helped me better support my team’s defensive strategies.
