Understand the mindset behind effective response on security incidents, and apply them through real-world tactics and techniques.

The goal of this module is to develop in you the mindset that an effective incident responder has. We’ll be diving through a tactical dissection of proven response processes, from preparing your environment to be a fertile ground for response, to the containment and removal of malicious software. We’ll also be discussing how to recover and consequently learn from everything to prime yourself for the next response.

What are modules?

A learning pathway is made up of modules, and a module is made of bite-sized rooms (think of a room like a mini security lab).
