Incident Response and Advanced Forensics
Need some incident response training on your path to becoming a network engineer or cyber defense analyst? This course will introduce you to incident response and prepare you to conduct forensic collections. Learn how to develop protection plans, dive into insider and malware threats, and commence incident recovery.
Course Description
In the Incident Response training course, students will be introduced to incident response, how to create and implement protection plans, how to investigate incidents forensically, insider and malware threats, and incident recovery.
Incidence response refers to the strategized approach and processes that take place after an organization suffers some sort of security incident. The approach focuses on trying to minimize the negative impact of the cyberattack, as well as recovering any affected data and systems in the quickest and most effective way possible. Incident response usually also includes consideration for recovery costs.
In the Incident Response and Handling training course, students will focus on learning how to properly design, develop, and deploy security incident response plans. The course is designed to give all students a deep dive into incident response plans, with a skillset that they can take back to help their organizations immediately.
This is a self-paced course that will train students to make carefully considered, smart decisions after an incident has occurred. Students will learn about three important aspects of incident response: a business impact analysis, business continuity plan, and a disaster recovery plan. Upon completing the course, students should have an idea of how to become prepared for incidents and how to begin the mitigation process following them.
The Incident Response training is ideal for professionals working on an incident response team, system and network administrators, and anyone else who is interested in improving their incident management and network forensics skills.
This course has a total of 8 hours and 6 minutes of clock time, for which students earn 7 CEU/CPE. Students will receive a Certificate of Completion for the course.
Every organization needs professionals with incident response training because even the very best defenses can be breached. Organizations need a team of cybersecurity professionals who are up to date on the most current cyber threats and attacks, as well as security techniques. The proper training in incident response is the best way for organizations to achieve this. Severe attacks are occurring more frequently, and they are causing increasing amounts of damage. It is vital to be prepared, now more than ever before.
Not having an incident responder team in place can be extremely detrimental to an organization. Damage can range from loss of sensitive information, interrupted operations, costly fines, to a tarnished reputation and loss of customer trust. It’s important to remember that without training, new threats can strike, and no one will know what they are or how to defend against them.
The reality is, most cyberthreats can be mitigated when organizations employ an effective team of IT professionals. One of the most important parts of that team is incident response.
An Incident Response Analyst can vary depending on the specific organization, its location, and size. However, there are some general duties that are usually assigned, including:
The above are simply general duties. Depending on the organization, Incident Response Analysts may be responsible for more or fewer duties.
Students who are interested in learning about incident response, the applicable concepts and skills, should enroll in a training course like Cybrary’s Incident Response and Handling course.
