This training course covers network defense and incident response methods, tactics, and procedures aligned with key industry frameworks, including NIST 800-61r2 (Computer Security Incident Handling Guide), US-CERT's National Cyber Incident Response Plan (NCIRP), and Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)-41 on Cyber Incident Coordination, as well as NIST 800.171r2 (Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information). It is ideal for individuals responsible for monitoring and detecting security incidents in information systems and networks and executing standardized responses. The course introduces tools, tactics, and procedures for managing cybersecurity risks, defending assets, identifying common threats, evaluating organizational security, collecting and analyzing cybersecurity intelligence, and remediating and reporting incidents. This comprehensive approach equips professionals with the skills needed to defend their organization's cybersecurity. Additionally, the training aids in preparing for the CertNexus CyberSec First Responder (Exam CFR-410) certification examination. Specific prerequisites are required, which can be reviewed through the linked files: CFR Prerequisites and CertNexus Exam Blueprints.
