The Cyber Incident Response course will give students an understanding of how incidents are responded to at a high level, as well as allow them to build important technical skills through the hands-on labs and projects.

This course goes into some detail with common definitions and severity criteria related to incident response, with special attention being paid to making sure the student understands that the severity criteria should be based on overall organizational definitions and procedures. The latter part of the course goes into the importance of asset inventory and identification as a basis for establishing severity criteria. All these pieces are required for proper preparation for any incident.

Very good Introduction to cyber incident response.

Reviewed on Jan 26, 2023

Good content, the explanations are clear, and explained thoroughly.

Reviewed on May 4, 2021

When following along during the videos there are many misspelled words or incorrect rendering of the instructors words. This can be confusing for the learner. Better editing/proof reading is needed.
