Overview

Master the essentials of cybersecurity incident response, from threat identification to vulnerability assessment, equipping you with skills to detect, analyze, and effectively respond to security breaches.

Syllabus

    - Threats and Attacks -- In this module, we will explore the various threats and attacks that can compromise network security. You will gain insight into the types of targets, actors, and methods commonly used by attackers. By understanding these concepts, you’ll be better equipped to detect, mitigate, and respond to potential security incidents. - Gaining Access -- In this module, we will dive into how attackers gain unauthorized access to networks. We will look at various exploitation methods, including client-side and server-side attacks, and explore tools and techniques used to breach systems. Understanding these approaches will help you recognize and defend against common attack vectors. - Post-Exploitation -- In this module, we will investigate what happens after a successful breach. You'll learn how attackers maintain control, move laterally within the network, exfiltrate data, and persistently access compromised systems. You’ll also understand tactics used to cover tracks and evade detection. - Threat Research and Incident Prep -- In this module, we will explore how to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. You will learn about tools and resources that can help you conduct ongoing threat research, and how to develop an effective incident response strategy for your organization. - Data Collection and Analysis -- In this module, we will focus on data collection and analysis techniques crucial for incident responders. We will examine how to gather and analyze network and host data, detect anomalies, and identify indicators of compromise to assess security events and breaches. - Incident Response Techniques -- In this module, we will cover the core incident response techniques needed to handle security breaches. You’ll learn about containment, response tools, processes, compliance requirements, and best practices to effectively manage incidents and mitigate their impact. - Vulnerability Assessments -- In this module, we will examine the importance of vulnerability assessments in maintaining a secure network. You will learn how to identify weak spots, perform assessments, and prioritize remediation actions to strengthen your organization’s defenses.
