GASAE knowledge map
GASAE tests whether you can apply automation and AI across offensive, defensive, and cloud security work — SOAR playbooks, adversary emulation, cloud security automation, detection engineering with AI. This map points each of GIAC’s ten exam objectives to the guidebook lessons that teach the underlying skill — scripting, SOC workflows, cloud security, adversary emulation, incident response. The exam is hands-on in GIAC’s CyberLive lab format and paid; the lessons this map points to are free. Objective titles are GIAC’s; everything else is the guidebook’s own words.
