Course objectives

The general objective of the course is to introduce the role and services of a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) in an organization. The course covers specific knowledge and skills required for the work role of Cyber Defense Incident Responder as defined by the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (see https://niccs.cisa.gov/workforce-development/cyber-security-workforce-framework/incident-response and PR-CIR-001).

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, a student should be able to:

understand the role and basic services of a CSIRT;

perform cyber defense incident triage;

track and document cyber defense incidents from initial detection through final resolution;

coordinate and provide expert technical support to enterprise-wide cyber defense technicians to resolve cyber defense incidents;

coordinate incident response functions;

write and publish cyber defense techniques, guidance, and reports on incident findings to appropriate constituencies;

collect intrusion artifacts and use discovered data to enable mitigation of potential cyber defense incidents within the enterprise;

monitor external data sources to maintain currency of cyber defense threat condition and determine which security issues may have an impact on the enterprise;
