Prerequisites
To ensure your success in this course, you should meet the following requirements:
• At least two years (recommended) of experience or education in computer network security
technology or a related field.
• The ability or curiosity to recognize information security vulnerabilities and threats in the
context of risk management.
• Foundational knowledge of the concepts and operational framework of common assurance
safeguards in network environments. Safeguards include, but are not limited to, firewalls,
intrusion prevention systems, and VPNs.
General knowledge of the concepts and operational framework of common assurance
safeguards in computing environments. Safeguards include, but are not limited to, basic
authentication and authorization, resource permissions, and anti-malware mechanisms.
• Foundation-level skills with some of the common operating systems for computing
environments.
• Entry-level understanding of some of the common concepts for network environments, such as
routing and switching.
• General or practical knowledge of major TCP/IP networking protocols, including, but not limited
to, TCP, IP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, ARP, ICMP, and DHCP.
What you’ll learn in this course
This course covers network defense and incident response methods, tactics, and procedures that are in alignment with industry frameworks such as NIST 800-61r2 (Computer Security Incident Handling Guide), US-CERT's National Cyber Incident Response Plan (NCIRP), and Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)-41 on Cyber Incident Coordination, NIST 800.171r2 (Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations). It is ideal for candidates who have been tasked with the responsibility of monitoring and detecting security incidents in information systems and networks, and for executing standardized responses to such incidents. The course introduces tools, tactics, and procedures to manage cybersecurity risks, defend cybersecurity assets, identify various types of common threats, evaluate the organization's security, collect and analyze cybersecurity intelligence, and remediate and report incidents as they occur. This course provides a comprehensive methodology for individuals responsible for defending the cybersecurity of their organization.
This course is designed to assist students in preparing for the CertNexus CyberSec First Responder (Exam CFR-410) certification examination. What you learn and practice in this course can be a significant part of your preparation.
In addition, this course and subsequent certification (CFR-410) meet all requirements for personnel requiring DoD directive 8570.01-M position certification baselines:
CSSP Analyst
CSSP Infrastructure Support
CSSP Incident Responder
CSSP Auditor
Course Objectives
This course is designed primarily for cybersecurity practitioners preparing for or who currently perform
job functions related to protecting information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity,
authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. It is ideal for those roles within federal contracting
companies and private sector firms whose mission or strategic objectives require the execution of
Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) or DoD Information Network (DoDIN) operation and incident
handling.
This course focuses on the knowledge, ability, and skills necessary to provide for the defense
of those information systems in a cybersecurity context, including protection, detection, analysis,
investigation, and response processes.
In addition, the course ensures that all members of an IT team—regardless of size, rank, or budget—
understand their role in the cyber defense, incident response, and incident handling process.
