This course is designed to help organizations manage an enterprise security incident, while avoiding common errors.

During this course, you will learn about security incident response strategies. You will investigate how to effectively prioritize the response to a security incident. You will learn how to build a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) and develop an incident response action plan based on audits. In addition, you will learn about threat modelling using the NIST Framework and how to prepare a Security Incident Report.

Once you have completed this course, you will have a good understanding of what comprises a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) and how to prioritize actions for a security incident response. You will also be able to manage post-incident activity to prevent recurrence.

    Information security audits assist in the identification, documentation, testing, and resolution of vulnerabilities and defects discovered in security systems that have been deployed. They help organizations to identify flaws and put correct patches in place in order to keep attackers at bay. By conducting effective security audits, businesses can develop the ability to detect and prioritize risk responses.

    This course is divided into four modules, each of which is intended to teach learners how to efficiently conduct systematic audits and manage any corporate security event that may occur. Learners also gain the knowledge and abilities required to construct an effective incident response action plan.

    During this course, you will build your understanding of the NIST cybersecurity framework, as well as gain vital insights on how to prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks. You will come to understand the complexities of cyber threat modelling, and you will develop the ability to identify potential risks and apply a systematic strategy to dealing with such risks in the future.

    The course also provides learners with knowledge of the processes, responsibilities, and action plan of the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). Learners build the understanding and abilities required for producing an effective Security Incident Report (SIR). Plus, in order to prevent such cyber catastrophes in the future, you will be introduced to the process of documenting security events and the activities carried out to minimize the security risk.
