Incident Response


Incident Response Planning and Preparation Training

Our Incident Response Planning and Preparation Training course will usually be hosted remotely and introduce IT team members to the essential processes and best practices for effectively responding to potential and likely cybersecurity attacks.

Course Overview

The training includes interactive presentations that provide an overview of the response process in the context of real-world examples of organisations facing cybersecurity attacks. 

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize the importance of a structured incident response process.
  • Understand the stages of the incident response lifecycle and the activities involved in each stage.
  • Identify and fulfil their roles and responsibilities during an incident.
  • Develop effective communication strategies for incident response.
  • Navigate legal and compliance issues related to cybersecurity incidents.
  • Implement best practices to improve the organization’s overall incident response capabilities.

Course Outline

The focus of this training course is the “Actions On” a realistic cyber-attack, starting with a solid foundation of the work the organisation should do prior to an attack being detected (“Preparation”), to an incident being detected (“Plan Execution”), right up to the incident recovery being completed and the organisation closing the incident (“Lessons Learned”).

Bespoke Cybersecurity Training and Workshops

Our workshops are tailored to your organisations needs and interests. Previous workshops have included how organisations can recognise and detect threats, including both technical measures that can be put in place to detect and block them, as well as staff security awareness training.

Our speakers are experienced ethical hackers and can give first-hand examples of how different threats can be built and delivered, such as how attackers put together attacks and “What happens next” when a staff member falls for a social engineering scam.

Security Awareness Training

Awareness Training can be a key part to reducing the risk of threats such as social engineering and phishing – but many companies struggle to put together effective security awareness training sessions. It’s an understandable problem though, putting together a talk about passwords and emails, but keeping it interesting, is ...
