The Forensics Investigation & Incident Response course is part of the comprehensive training program for a career in cybersecurity and information security.
The course encompasses the principles of work and processes of response and documentation for cyber breaches and the discovery of security breaches. It also includes thorough documentation of the breach's defense layer and its root cause. Such actions are crucial for information security operations, as they involve assessing the defense layer, documenting in case of an issue, resolving the breach for future proceedings, including legal utilization, investigation, and more.
To effectively conduct an investigation and documentation, one must be familiar with methodologies and steps required in such cases. This enables a quick and professional response to any problem. Additionally, specific tools tailored for Linux or Windows are utilized in cases like these. Tools like network communication scanning and log analysis are used to analyze the current activity. Such tools and more will be taught during this course.
