CyberSec First Responder - CFR
Class Overview
CertNexus’ CyberSec First Responder
(Cyber Security First Responder) training addresses the duties of those who are responsible for monitoring and detecting security incidents in information systems and networks, and for executing a proper response to such incidents.
It is ideal for those whose roles require incident handling. This class focuses on the knowledge, ability, and skills necessary to provide for the defense of information systems in a cybersecurity context, including protection, detection, analysis, investigation, and response processes. Additionally, this training introduces tools and tactics to manage cybersecurity risks, identify various types of common threats, evaluate the organization’s security, collect and analyze cybersecurity intelligence, and handle incidents as they occur.
This training is designed to help the cyber security professional to understand, assess, and respond to security threats, and operate a system and network security analysis platform. Ultimately, this training promotes a comprehensive approach to security aimed toward those on the front lines of defense.
