levels until the implementation of mitigation measures and post-incident activities. The course will cover key preparations to have in place.
Participants will learn the importance of having and following pre-defined policies and procedures; understand the technical issues relating to commonly reported attack types, incident response best practices, workflow, classification, SLAs and team composition/roles along with internal and external incident communication. 
At the end of the course participants will learn how to gather the information required to handle an incident; identify potential problems to avoid while taking part in incident management work. 
The course incorporates practical exercises and cases, small group work and, in class discussions, small group work.
