This course will introduce you to the core principles, teams, and frameworks that define modern incident response. This course begins by providing you with an overview of why incident response is critical, the types of incidents and attack vectors organizations face, and the various structures and roles of IR teams. It then explores industry-standard frameworks like the NIST and SANS IR processes, followed by practical guidance on developing IR policies, plans, playbooks, and responsibility matrices. The course concludes by showing you how to build a technological backbone for response, in the form of developing an Incident Response Toolkit, and how to use real-world Incident Management platforms like TheHive. This course is ideal for aspiring incident responders, SOC analysts, and cybersecurity professionals seeking a formal introduction to modern incident response, with a specific focus on building a structured and practical understanding of the Preparation phase of IR.
