Course Description
This course covers the six phases of incident handling and responding as follows:
0- Introduction: Includes the definition of an event, incident, as well as the difference between them
1- Preparation Phase: Shows the elements of preparation and the team building,
2- Identification Phase: Demonstrates where identification occurs and the assessment for identification
3- Containment: Explains the deployment and categorization needed as well as the short/long- term actions taken
4- Eradication: Stresses on restoring systems and improving defenses
5- Recovery: Elaborates the validation and monitoring required for attacked systems
6- Lessons Learned: Confirms the importance of meeting as a team to fix and improve and to share our experiences with others
The course targets cybersecurity officers and incident handlers, and the material requires only basic IT knowledge and a little of cybersecurity background.
It is worth noting that incident response is a structured approach to handle various types of security incidents, cyber threats, and data breaches. The incident response methodology aims to identify, contain, and minimize the cost of a cyberattack or a live incident. A well-built incident response (IR) plan can fix a potential vulnerability to prevent future attacks, but it is not the sum game. Response is a part of Incident Handling which in turn looks at the logistics, communications, synchronicity, and planning required to resolve an incident.

Provide a clear and concise explanation with Incident Handling and Response. Good for beginners in this field. However, it lacks real world examples/scenarios and maybe it would help to add guide questions or short quizzes every chapter to enforce learning.
By Aleli Tirados on 11/20/2020
Interesting course. It could be better - add quizzes in each section to test comprehension of students attending the course. Instructor reads too much from slides and please add case scenarios. Check typo in last slide of Section 7 please.
By Libor Benes on 11/19/2020
A very important topic, yet largely unknown. Well elaborated. Thank you. I will definitely use the suggested practices when identifying and processing incidents.
By Snazzy Sensei on 9/15/2020
Clearly explains every step of handling incidents and responding to incidents. A true must for all people-not just the IT staff.
By Sean Jacobs on 7/29/2020
Proper handling of incident response is a critical component of cyber security. This lecture format was great- precise and concise. It was a great supplementary resource to my college coursework. Thanks Dr. Adly!
By Kayombo Masuwa on 7/26/2020
Definitely was a good match for me as it gave me a better understanding of how incidents can be handled and other vital information equipping me with necessary information in a simple but effective manner
By Heera Rampaul on 3/29/2020
Excellent course on Incident Handling. Even an experienced person can learn much. The availability of the course slides is a plus.
By Kitiphong Duwa on 3/27/2020
the courses tell what you would need to handle and respond to the incidents. And another plus point of this course is that, there are handouts for al the lectures. However, I deducted .5 stars because there was soo much text.
By George Hamilton on 8/7/2019
The content has some really good points but, I felt the supporting information could have been stronger. The instructor read a lot from the slides and didn't really stray away from the slides until the end of the presentation.
By Andre Laborn on 7/5/2018
It was a very comprehensive set of presentations. Obviously created with a lot of thought and business experience. It's focus is a high level for how to build the business processes on dealing with threats before and after. If business were to adopt these concepts and spend the money to implement his suggestions this would be a very good thing. Bravo...
