Overview

Organisations with an incident response team and plan save an average of $2.66 million per breach compared to those without (IBM 2023). This programme trains IT and security teams in structured incident response: the NIST incident response lifecycle (Preparation, Detection & Analysis, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, Post-Incident Activity), building an incident response plan, forming a CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team), forensic investigation basics, evidence preservation, communication during incidents, and post-incident review. Participants practice on a simulated cyber attack scenario and leave with a draft incident response plan for their organisation.

Build and test an incident response plan.
Form and manage a CSIRT team.
Conduct basic digital forensic investigation and evidence preservation.
Manage communications during a cyber incident.

IT or security background. Familiarity with networking and systems administration.

Why This Course?

Save $2.66M per Breach with an IR Plan

IBM reports organisations with an IR plan save $2.66M per breach. Without a plan, teams panic, evidence is lost, and costs multiply. This programme gives you the plan, the team structure, and the practice — so when an incident happens, you respond with confidence.

Course Value

IR Plan

Build a structured incident response plan aligned with NIST — covering preparation through post-incident review.

CSIRT Formation

Form and manage a Computer Security Incident Response Team with clear roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths.

Digital Forensics

Conduct basic forensic investigation — log analysis, evidence preservation, chain of custody, and timeline reconstruction.

Incident Communication

Manage internal, external, and regulatory communications during a cyber incident to minimise reputational damage.
