The OSDA | Foundational Security Operations and Defensive Analysis (SOC-200) training at WebAsha Technologies in Pune is OffSec's foundational defensive-analysis (blue-team) certification, delivered through the SOC-200: Security Operations and Defensive Analysis course.

You will learn to think like an attacker and then detect them: Windows and Linux server-side and client-side attacks, privilege escalation and persistence, network detections, antivirus alerts and evasion, tunneling, Active Directory enumeration, lateral movement and persistence, and building detections in a SIEM using the ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack.

The certification is earned in a proctored, 23-hour-45-minute hands-on exam built around ten attack phases you must detect, analyse and document (pass mark 75 of 100), and it never expires. WebAsha's trainers build the practical SOC-analyst skills that defensive teams need.

Coming from a Non-IT Professional background, switching felt risky, but WebAsha's OSDA SOC-200 Foundational Security Operations and Defensive Analysis course gave me a clear path forward. The placement team actively shared openings and coached me through resume building and every interview. I landed a Cyber Security Engineer position at Vodafone Idea with a strong hike from 4.5 LPA to 7.5 LPA, and I owe it to WebAsha.

My journey began as a Non-IT Professional with big ambitions, and the OSDA SOC-200 Foundational Security Operations and Defensive Analysis program at WebAsha became the turning point. The hands-on labs and live projects around ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and penetration testing in a safe lab rebuilt my confidence from the ground up. I transitioned into a Penetration Tester role at LTIMindtree, nearly doubling my salary from 5 LPA to 11 LPA.

My OSDA SOC-200 Foundational Security Operations and Defensive Analysis journey with WebAsha gave me exactly the practical depth I was looking for. The mock interviews and interview preparation sharpened me for real technical rounds. Hands-on practice on real lab systems built genuine confidence, not just theory. Each module built logically, and the coverage of ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and penetration testing in a safe lab was thorough and current. Minor scheduling tweaks aside, the training quality and lab practice were genuinely excellent.
