Certified Incident Handler
Certified Incident Handler
-
- Course level: All Levels
Description
Incident Handling is all that is involved in managing and responding to cybersecurity incidents. Typically, it refers to the technical and procedural side of detecting, analyzing, and mitigating security threats, as opposed to just monitoring or preventive controls. It encompasses everything from handling small malware infections to responding to complex, large-scale cyberattacks that could impact critical systems and data.
The basic goal of Incident Handling is to minimize the damage caused by security incidents, restore normal operations as quickly as possible, and prevent future attacks.
Examples of incident handling scenarios include data breaches, ransomware attacks, denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) incidents, insider threats, and phishing attacks. Common tools and techniques used by incident handlers include Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), forensic analysis tools, log monitoring, malware analysis, and frameworks like NIST Cybersecurity Framework or SANS Incident Handling Process.
