Unlock Advanced Cybersecurity Skills with the Modern SecOps Masterclass on Coursera

As technology evolves at an unprecedented pace and artificial intelligence (AI) becomes an integral part of our daily lives, cybersecurity professionals must rethink their approach to protecting their organizations. Innovative strategies, continuous improvement, and a paradigm shift in mindset are essential to stay ahead. At Netenrich, we believe that transitioning from traditional operations to building comprehensive, end-to-end solutions against threats is critical.

In collaboration with Google Cloud, we are excited to announce the launch of the Modern SecOps course on Coursera. This six-week, platform-agnostic program is designed to equip security professionals with the latest skills and knowledge to modernize their security operations. It is rooted in Google Cloud's Autonomic Security Operations (ASO) framework and Continuous Detection, Continuous Response (CD/CR) methodology.

Introducing the Modern Security Operations course

The Modern Security Operations course addresses the core challenges security operations teams face today. Developed with contributions from Netenrich, ROI Training, and other industry experts, this course offers practical insights and hands-on experience to help organizations transform their Security Operations Centers (SOCs) by focusing on people and processes.

Our role and contributions

At Netenrich, we have played a pivotal role in shaping the course content, ensuring it reflects cutting-edge practices and real-world applications. Our expertise in ASO and Adaptive Managed Detection and Response (MDR) has been instrumental in creating a curriculum that is both comprehensive and practical.

"Autonomic security is the guiding star for transforming SOCs, and we're thrilled to partner with Google Cloud to develop this course. Netenrich Adaptive MDR, built on the ASO framework, exemplifies our commitment to pioneering autonomic security solutions,” said Raju Chekuri, CEO, Netenrich. “By implementing ASO both internally and for our customers, we're turning the vision of autonomic security into reality."

Why modern SecOps matters

In the era of generative AI, security teams need high-performing solutions that drive productivity and empower defenders. Our contributions to the Google SecOps platform — integrating AI, threat intelligence, and advanced automation — simplify threat detection, investigation, and response. This collaboration has led to innovations like frontline threat intelligence, Gemini, investigation assistant, playbook assistant, and autonomous parsers, which help security teams uncover threats more efficiently and respond to incidents with greater precision.

"AI isn't just a tool; it's the catalyst for a paradigm shift in cybersecurity. Our strategic alliances amplify our AI-driven innovation, ensuring our partners remain steps ahead of the evolving threat landscape," said Iman Ghanizada, Global Head of Security Operations Solutions, Google.
