Udemy — PowerShell for Cybersecurity: Windows Incident Response 2026-9

Description

Use PowerShell as an investigative tool for examining a Windows host during security analysis. The course looks at network connections, listening ports, system activity and other host information that can help an analyst decide what to investigate next. Commands including ping and netstat appear alongside PowerShell-based data collection.

The lessons emphasize interpreting output and explaining an investigation, rather than treating commands as an isolated checklist. Incident-response scripts demonstrate how to gather information, while discussion of suspicious activity provides context for reviewing the results. The course also includes preparation for technical SOC interview questions, particularly explaining what a command reveals and how it supports an investigation.

Intended audience: New cybersecurity learners and aspiring SOC analysts. IT support staff and administrators developing Windows investigation skills.
