FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is incident response training?
This incident response training is designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge to effectively detect, respond to and mitigate security incidents. It provides comprehensive instruction on the procedures, techniques and best practices involved in identifying and containing security breaches, conducting investigations and restoring systems and data to a secure state.
What skills do you need to be an incident responder?
To excel as an incident responder, essential skills include a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles, technical expertise in areas like network protocols and operating systems, the ability to handle and respond to security incidents promptly, knowledge of digital forensics techniques, effective communication and collaboration skills, problem-solving abilities and a commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
These skills enable incident responders to effectively analyze, contain and remediate security incidents while minimizing the impact on organizations.
What do you need to be an incident responder?
To be an adept incident responder, you must possess a strong technical knowledge base, including a deep understanding of computer networks, operating systems and cybersecurity principles. Expertise in incident response methodologies, frameworks and procedures is essential. This involves being well-versed in incident detection, containment, eradication and recovery and utilizing incident handling tools, forensic techniques and evidence preservation methods.
Effective communication and collaboration skills are vital for incident responders. You need to communicate clearly with team members, stakeholders and external parties involved in incident response efforts. Collaborating effectively with others helps you coordinate response actions and share critical information. Operating as part of a team is crucial, as many incident responses cannot be completed by one person.

Excellent! Our instructor had a vast background and related the materials to real life. Much better than just teaching the materials to pass an exam ... but he did that as well. He went out of his way in class. The extra materials really benefited us when we returned to our real jobs! Great experience!
John Peck, EPA
The instructor was able to take material that prior to the class had made no sense, and explained it in real world scenarios that were able to be understood.
Erik Heiss, United States Air Force
Very impressed with Infosec. My instructor did a great job delivering the information strategically and in a way for all to understand. I would definitely take another class/certification prep course.
