FAQs

As the prevalence of cyberattacks continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, the value of a good security incident response has increased significantly. Daily, security analysts, incident response managers, and threat researchers must deal with security incidents in a proactive and systematic manner. Even a minor security breach must be treated with urgency in order to avoid it from developing into a big security problem in the future. 

Companies must establish a proactive Computer Security Incident Response Team to deal with cybersecurity incidents. Team members must be aware of their responsibilities and will have, ideally, performed response standard operating procedures (SoPs) numerous times. It’s this experience that enables them to limit the threat, recover the compromised systems, and revise standard operating procedures to eliminate flaws. 

This course consists of four modules that provide in-depth knowledge of security incident response best practices. Once you’ve completed the course, you will be able to clearly define each CSIRT member's job role. You will learn Cyber Threat Modeling, a methodical strategy for uncovering and identifying potential threats. You will learn how to take a systematic approach to security and efficiently manage the most serious threats. Plus, you will learn about the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) and Cyber Security Framework, which is extensively used. 

You will actively participate in a 'Security Incident Report' case study that teaches you the intricacies of efficiently reporting, reviewing, and expressing lessons learned. This will aid you in preventing future security breaches. 

Yes. This Security Incident Response course is 100% online. Moreover, it is self-paced and can be completed at a speed that suits you. All you need is a good connection to the internet to access the course materials. 

You will be able to access the course materials through your dashboard as soon as you enroll in Security Incident Response course.  

Yes, you will be issued a certificate once you have successfully completed this FutureSkills Prime Security Incident Response course. The certificate will be co-branded with FutureSkills Prime and SkillUp Online. It is a great accomplishment to highlight on your LinkedIn profile.
