What security leaders say about this course
This course walks you through the full incident response lifecycle – from preparation and detection to containment, eradication and recovery. You’ll learn how to handle real-world security incidents using structured frameworks, practical checklists and examples mapped to standards like NIST 800-61 and ISO/IEC 27035. It is ideal for SOC analysts, incident responders, IT and network administrators, security engineers and aspiring blue-team professionals. It is also valuable for risk, compliance and technology leaders who need to understand how incident response works in practice to make better decisions during a breach. No. You don’t need to be a senior expert, but basic familiarity with IT systems, networks and security concepts is helpful. The content explains concepts clearly and focuses on practical response steps, so motivated beginners and mid-level professionals can both follow and benefit. Yes. One of the outcomes of the course is a structured incident response plan and clear roles and responsibilities. You’ll learn how to draft or improve your playbooks, escalation paths and communication steps so your organisation is better prepared before the next breach. The course is primarily focused on process and decision-making, not on teaching a single tool or command-line skill. You’ll see how logs, SIEMs, EDR and other tools fit into the incident response workflow, but the emphasis is on what to do, when, and why in a live incident. The core content is designed to be completed in a few focused study sessions, typically over 1–2 weeks depending on your schedule. It is fully self-paced, so you can pause, revisit modules and progress whenever it fits around shifts and on-call duties. Along with core concepts, the course includes breach scenarios, guided walkthroughs and practical steps you can adapt into your own playbooks. The goal is that you leave with concrete actions you can immediately apply in your SOC, IR team or IT environment – not just theoretical knowledge. Yes. Once you complete all required modules, you’ll receive a digital certificate for “Incident Response: Managing Security Breaches”. You can share it on your résumé, LinkedIn profile and with your current or prospective employer as proof of your upskilling in incident response. Yes. Many organisations enroll SOC teams, IT operations and risk staff together so they can align on the same incident response approach. For group access, enterprise options or custom rollout, you can contact us and we’ll help design the best setup for your organisation. You retain access to the course materials for an extended period after enrollment, so you can revisit modules whenever you need a refresher. As incident response practices evolve, we periodically update content so you can stay in touch with current approaches and expectations. Frequently asked questions
