What Will This Course Help You Do?
Incident response is not just about technology. It is about recognising when something is wrong, making informed decisions and knowing how to move forward.
Recognise and Report
Understand the warning signs of a cyber security incident, what information to report and when a concern needs escalating.
Assess and Respond
Learn how incidents are assessed, what containment involves and why protecting evidence and recording decisions matters.
Recover and Improve
Explore safe recovery, effective communication and how organisations can learn from incidents to improve future responses.
Practical Scenario-Based Learning
Learn by Working Through an Incident
Rather than simply learning definitions, you'll follow a developing cyber security incident at Northbridge Services Ltd, a fictional organisation.
As new information becomes available, you'll decide what should happen next, consider the available options and record your decisions. The activities help you apply the learning to situations you may encounter at work.
