Key modules in the Incident Responder Essentials Learning Path
Incident Response Overview
- This module introduces the concepts of incident response with the main focus being NIST Special Publication 800-61
Fundamentals of Incident Response
- This module covers the roles and responsibilities of incident response teams, and the main frameworks used by incident responders (CREST, SANS, NIST)
Phases of Incident Response
- NIST SP800-61 provides a four-phase model of Incident Response. This module describes what each phase comprises.
Incident Response Communication Plans
- Learn about the value and contents of incident response communications plans, and review examples of good and bad external communications.
Common Attack Techniques
- This module covers opportunistic and targeted attacks
Incident Detection and Identification
- This module covers the detection and analysis of malicious activities.
Initial Impact Assessment
- The first thing we need to do when an incident occurs is an initial assessment of the scope and impact of the incident. This module covers the way in which this is accomplished.
Digital Forensics for Incident Responders
- This Module covers forensic measures and evidence handling considerations.
Incident Response Case Management
- This module covers case management theory with an IRIS lab.
Active Incident Containment
- This module covers how to isolate and neutralize detected threats. It explores techniques such as design-led isolation, dynamic containment during incidents, and addresses topics like isolation techniques, containment strategies, and their implications for businesses.
Incident Eradication and Recovery
- This module focuses on highlighting the swift identification and elimination of threats in Incident Eradication, and the process of restoring normal operations in Incident Recovery. By mastering the techniques and strategies discussed, participants will gain foundational knowledge to handle security incidents, mitigating their impact and facilitating a return to business as usual.
Post-Mortem Reporting
- This module covers incident post-mortem reporting and post-impact assessment
