This is an intermediate-level course designed for technical personnel who are first responders to any type of cyber-based attack against our nation’s critical cyber infrastructure. Blended learning methods are utilized, to include a balance of classroom lecture, hands-on laboratory exercises, and the use of cyberterrorism response tools against real world simulated cyber-attacks. Students learn the proper steps of an incident response to include incident assessment, detection and analysis, and the containing, eradicating, and recovering process from a system or network-based attack.
