Cloud logging Incident Response: Mastery
RCCE students will learn cloud-native logging services and security monitoring including AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, GCP Cloud Audit Logs, cloud storage logging, and cloud log analysis. RCCE students will learn to enable and configure comprehensive cloud logging across AWS, Azure, and GCP, centralize cloud logs for security analysis, parse and normalize cloud log formats, detect security-relevant events including unauthorized API calls, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and configuration changes, build automated alerting for critical cloud events, manage cloud log retention and storage costs, and use cloud logs for forensic investigation of cloud security incidents. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn containment, evidence collection, eradication, and recovery procedures specific to this domain. Students practice incident scenarios that build the composure, coordination, and documentation skills essential for effective incident handling.
