Cybersecurity incidents can happen at any time — and effective Cybersecurity Incident Response, management, and monitoring can make the difference between a controlled event and a major security disruption. This course provides a practical foundation in incident response, incident management, cybersecurity monitoring, response planning, containment, investigation, recovery, and post-incident review.
Whether you are new to cybersecurity, working in IT, managing technology operations, or preparing for a cybersecurity career, this course helps you understand how organizations identify, manage, investigate, contain, and recover from cybersecurity incidents. You’ll begin with the foundations of incident response and explore the modern cybersecurity threat landscape. From there, you’ll learn how incident detection and monitoring support early identification of suspicious activity and security events.
The course then moves into incident response planning, including how organizations prepare roles, processes, communication procedures, escalation paths, and response strategies before an incident occurs. You’ll also explore containment and mitigation approaches designed to limit damage and reduce operational impact.
