First Responder Training

Why train incident response staff?

Training incident response staff is essential for rapid threat identification, as trained personnel swiftly detect cyber threats, minimising their impact on the organisation. It also facilitates effective incident management by enabling prompt responses that prevent escalation and additional harm. Quick identification and response to a cyber incident increases the chances of a positive outcome or at least mitigates the negative impacts. 

This advanced level 2 training places a stronger emphasis on reacting to and tracking an attacker’s activities, an essential component in modern cybersecurity strategies.

Additionally, a well-prepared team builds resilience by adapting to evolving cyber threats, thereby enhancing overall organisational strength, while ongoing training ensures that staff remain up-to-date with the legal and compliance requirements related to cyber incidents.

What can my team get from this level 2 training?

We prepare your cyberfirst responders to tackle digital emergencies. This course explores the intricate details of these responses in greater depth. 

We aim to empower incident response teams with advanced skills for identifying, containing, and eradicating cyber threats. We do this through our hands-on training that is designed for those with a foundational understanding of the topic, broadening their knowledge and skills.

This ensures that teams are proficient in the latest cybersecurity practices and technologies and facilitates the development of strategic and effective incident response protocols.

 What topics are included?

Our three day training program for first responders addresses essential issues in managing cyber incidents. This includes:

Examining malicious software

We offer insights into the analysis of malware and comprehending the ways in which programs can be maliciously exploited. This understanding is crucial for countering strategies used by attackers 

Collection of forensic data 

Participants will learn to effectively capture and preserve digital evidence, essential for post-incident analysis and legal proceedings to prevent tampering or loss of crucial data.

Identification of IOCs

Participants acquire the ability to recognise and comprehend signs of compromise, enabling faster detection of incidents and reducing possible harm.

Putting security protocols in place

The course teaches using IOCs to implement robust security measures, strengthening  defences and preventing future attacks.

Development of a playbook 

Training includes creating detailed response playbooks that act as clear, step-by-step instructions for managing particular incidents, guaranteeing a quick, structured, and efficient reaction.
