Introduction to Incident Response
Course - 00:56:00
In this course, we will dig into the NIST phases of incident response. We will also talk about business continuity and DR, specifically how it relates to incident response. Lastly, we dig into creating a playbook that fits your organization and its business needs. We also address the team required to realize the playbook and policies.
Stage 1 - Preparation
Course - 00:33:00
This course goes into some detail with common definitions and severity criteria, with special attention being paid to making sure the student understands that the severity criteria should be based on overall organizational definitions and procedures. The latter part of the course goes into the importance of asset inventory and identification as a basis for establishing severity criteria. All these pieces are required for proper preparation for any incident.
Stage 2 - Identification
Course - 00:38:00
This course deals specifically with how incidents are identified, as well as the classification levels that incidents might fall within. It also reminds the student that these classification levels are established with input from upper management and the rest of the organization. We go into details of notifying the appropriate parties of the incident and how to do that properly. We end this course with a discussion of common tools and techniques.
Stage 3 - Containment
Course - 00:37:00
This course explores containment, and the proper scoping and management of it. We examine the details of how to contain an incident and, more importantly, how to define what containment means. We also explore common containment tools.
Stage 4 - Investigation
Course - 00:23:00
In this course, you’ll learn the questions asked in normal investigations and how to properly answer them. You’ll explore the important data sources these answers are pulled from and the role this process plays in incident response overall.
Stage 5 - Eradication
Course - 00:27:00
Dive into what it takes to remove threats from and environment after the threat has been contained. We’ll also take a look at how to verify the threat has been eradicated and address proper notification of eradication to other authorized parties. Lastly, we’ll discuss some common tools for eradication.
Stage 6 - Recovery
Course - 00:19:00
This course shows how we tie directly into business continuity and disaster recovery at this phase. We deal with how to restore systems in the least disruptive and most efficient way, as well as defining what constitutes "recovered." Finally, we look at validation and sign-off of recovery.
Stage 7 - Follow Up/Lessons Learned
Course - 00:13:00
This course deals with how to effectively assess how well the team responded. It also looks at implementing needed improvements and how to ingest feedback from the rest of the organization or even outside organizations.
Introduction to cybersecurity foundations
Course - 00:03:00
Learn what this learning path covers in a short and straightforward introductory video.
Cybersecurity foundations
Course - 00:40:00
If you've been trying to break into cybersecurity and felt like the courses you've taken didn't address enough of the foundational aspects of cybersecurity and technology in general, this course is for you. We answer questions such as "What is cybersecurity?", "What is an operating system?" and many other foundational questions that one absolutely must understand to be comfortable in any cybersecurity bootcamp or training course. It is the missing piece for brand-new cybersecurity students.
Operating system foundations
Course - 00:32:00
In this course, we take a look at what an actual operating system is. People often confuse operating systems with browsers and many other things. We take a look at Windows versus Linux versus MacOS and discuss how these operating systems evolved. We also get into some technical detail about the components that make up an operating system.
Windows command line foundations
Course - 00:41:00
This course gets the learner right into the thick of the command line and navigating it. What we do here is a series of exercises that build on things most people already know how to do with Windows, such as copying and pasting files from one place to another. We take several basic things like this and teach the learner to do them from the command line. The goal is not to make the learner a command-line master, but to provide an introduction that will make the student comfortable with bootcamps requiring command-line entry.
Linux command line foundations
Course - 00:33:00
This course gets the learner right into the thick of the command line from the Linux perspective. In this course, we build on the things you've learned how to do in the Windows Command Line course. This course is an important step if you plan on pursuing a role such as entry-level pentester, cybersecurity analyst or basically any technical cybersecurity role. You will come away with a good understanding of the Linux terminal.
Network fundamentals
Course - 00:31:00
This course dives into what networking is and how network technologies apply to cybersecurity. This is a hands-on course, and the learner will do hands-on exercises with the cyber range on the Infosec Skills platform. We will address everything, from how data gets from one place to another all the way to basic monitoring and analysis techniques. Students do not need to worry about having no experience with networking, as this is 100% introduction level.
Cloud computing fundamentals
Course - 00:43:00
This course goes in-depth with cloud services. The learner will create their first cloud account, create a virtual machine in that account and give it internet access. They will also start up a web service and make it accessible to the world. This is all to make sure the learners walk away comfortable with the technology.
Cybersecurity policy framework and guidelines
Course - 00:13:00
In this course, the learner will get a good look at what policies and frameworks do to keep the cybersecurity industry on-mission and formal. Without this area of cybersecurity, cybersecurity would mean too many people doing too many different things that might not even improve security. Learn how you can have a successful career in cybersecurity without ever touching a command line!
Cybersecurity auditing
Course - 00:12:00
In this course, the learner will get a deeper look at how auditing can go from being very high-level to very deep and technical, depending on the scope of the audit. The learner will also get to see why cybersecurity auditor is one of the best jobs to have in cybersecurity.
Risk management
Course - 00:15:00
This course will take the learner on a quick trip down the road of risk management. The learner will have a trial-by-fire type of exercise where they will learn how to apply the classic ALE=SLE x ARO formula to solving a scenario! Many of the daily functions in cybersecurity are done based on decisions made by risk management professionals. Take this course to learn how.
Pentest demonstration: Appetizer for the beginner
Course - 00:25:00
In this course, we will take you through all five phases of a penetration test. You will see the command line in action, Nmap in action, exploitation tools, other recon tools, track covering, malware and several other things.
