Looking at sending myself and a vulnerability management team to or through some kind of training. I've been seeing a ton of people touting the Blue Team training program/cert can anyone attest to whether it's really decent? The team and I are military so what training we've had has been fast and pretty surface-level, if it even exists.

Are there any particular skills you want your team to gain? I've taken a bunch of trainings and have some written thoughts on them here https://shellsharks.com/training-retrospective#certification-and-training-mini-reviews if you're interested.

Generally I'm just looking for more formal SOC training. Specifically I'd like them to learn more about SIEM management, traffic analysis, incident response and report writing. What I like about the BTL1 from what I've read is that it's all lab-based rather than knowledge-based like their Sec+ certs or some other entry-level security certs. That said it's a new program so while I've seen some buzz about it, it's just from randoms and strangers so I don't have a good way to see if it's really worth the time or money.

Gotcha. It's not cheap but I found SANS SEC450 to be a pretty fantastic SOC course.
