Learn to hunt for and respond to advanced persistent threats through deep forensic analysis. Covers memory forensics, malware analysis, lateral movement detection, and enterprise-scale incident response techniques for identifying sophisticated adversaries who evade standard defenses.
Overview
Hunt and respond to advanced threat actors through deep forensic analysis of compromised systems and networks. Build the skills for APT-level incident response.
Advanced persistent threats require advanced forensic capabilities. FOR508 teaches the techniques for detecting and investigating sophisticated adversaries who evade standard defenses.
Investigate advanced threats:
Threat Hunting
- Detect indicators of sophisticated compromise
- Hunt for persistence and lateral movement
- Identify credential theft and data staging
- Find attackers hiding in enterprise environments
Memory and Malware Analysis
- Analyze memory for malware and attacker tools
- Investigate rootkits and advanced implants
- Recover encryption keys and credentials
- Identify injection and hooking techniques
Enterprise Investigation
- Scale forensic analysis across thousands of systems
- Correlate activity across the enterprise
- Track attacker movements through kill chain
- Contain and remediate active intrusions
Hands-on labs investigate realistic APT campaigns with active adversary simulation.
Earn GIAC GCFA certification (exam sold separately). 36 CPE credits across 6 intensive days.

Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing option: a single-user license for the FOR508 course. You buy access per person, billed as a contract on a per-unit basis. To train more people, you add more units, one license per learner. The course covers advanced incident response, threat hunting, and digital forensics through instructor sessions and hands-on labs. A single license grants course access for one individual only; materials cannot be shared. There are no tiers or size options to choose between — pricing scales simply by the number of user licenses you purchase.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One license gives one named individual access to the course, including instructor sessions and hands-on labs. You get printed and PDF books plus lab materials. The materials are for your individual use only and cannot be shared, resold, or reused to teach others.
No. The single-user license covers course access only. The associated GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst exam is a separate purchase and is not required. You can add a certification exam attempt separately if you choose, but the license itself does not include it.
Cost scales by license count. Each learner needs their own single-user license, so training five people means buying five units. There are no group tiers or bundled discounts in this listing. Each added unit bills at the same per-license rate as the first.
