Overview of this book

Cybersecurity roles have grown exponentially in the IT industry and an increasing number of organizations have set up security operations centers (SOCs) to monitor and respond to security threats. The 210-255 SECOPS exam is the second of two exams required for the Cisco CCNA Cyber Ops certification. By providing you with fundamental knowledge of SOC events, this certification validates your skills in managing cybersecurity processes such as analyzing threats and malicious activities, conducting security investigations, and using incident playbooks. You'll start by understanding threat analysis and computer forensics, which will help you build the foundation for learning intrusion analysis and incident response principles. The book will then guide you through vocabulary and techniques for analyzing data from the network and previous events. In later chapters, you'll discover how to identify, analyze, correlate, and respond to incidents, including how to communicate technical and inaccessible (non-technical) examples. You'll be able to build on your knowledge as you learn through examples and practice questions, and finally test your knowledge with two mock exams that allow you to put what you’ve learned to the test. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills to confidently pass the SECOPS 210-255 exam and achieve CCNA Cyber Ops certification.

    The 10\.114\.115\.\d{0,3} search string would match all of the addresses in the network. The /24 prefix means that the first three octets (10.114.115.) must be the same for every address in the network. The final octet can be any number that's up to three digits long (actually, only up to 255; this regex string doesn't specify the top limit).
    10.114.115.55 would only match the IP address stated, although it would also match longer strings as the lack of an escape character before the period sign means that this would match any character, not just the literal period sign.
    10\.114\.d{0.3}\.\d{0,3} would match the 10.114.0...
