Course Overview

Cyber incidents are no longer a matter of “if” but “when.” From data breaches to ransomware attacks, organizations must be prepared with structured response frameworks to minimize damage and ensure continuity.

This Developing Cyber Incident Response Frameworks Training Course provides participants with best practices and global standards for building, implementing, and refining response systems. It covers detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons-learned phases, using models such as NIST, ISO, and SANS.

Through case studies, tabletop exercises, and framework-building workshops, participants will develop practical incident response plans that align with enterprise strategy and compliance obligations.

Course Benefits
