Course Overview

With the advance in cyber-attacks, organizations’ data and intellectual properties are always at stake, thus they need to have the ability to rapidly detect and respond to threats. The enterprise should be able to analyze the loopholes from where the attacker can intrude and mitigate them by causing less damage. Therefore, building an incident response system is of utmost importance.

This course will teach you about the IT infrastructure of an enterprise and how to define and recognize common security risks, vulnerabilities, and threats. Then you will be acquainted with various incident response policies and the role of the incident response manager. You will learn how to develop three important protection plans for incident response: a business impact analysis (BIA), a business continuity plan (BCP), and a disaster recovery plan (DRP).

In the next phase, you will learn about the process of implementing incident response including the threat landscape, targeted attack life cycle, initial attack vectors used by different threat actors, and phases of an effective incident response process. You will successfully be able to investigate the entire environment (including metadata, registry, event logs, services, persistence mechanisms, and artifacts of execution) at scale for signs of compromise. You will know the types of malicious software, network attacks, client-side attacks, and the essential security terms used in the workplace. Next, you will be able to understand concepts related to identifying forensics and in-depth analysis of the lateral movement of a cyber-attack. In the end, you will be able to develop an incident mitigation and recovery plan for continuous improvement.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to implement a full-fledged incident response mechanism to defend against any sort of cyber-attack.
