Essentials of IR in cloud: Basics
RCCE students will learn incident response procedures specific to cloud environments including cloud evidence acquisition, cloud-native log analysis, container forensics, serverless investigation, and cross-cloud incident coordination. RCCE students will learn to execute incident response in AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, collect and preserve cloud evidence before resource termination, analyze cloud-native logs to reconstruct attacker activity, investigate compromised cloud identities and resources, contain threats across cloud services, coordinate response efforts in shared responsibility models, and develop cloud-specific incident response playbooks and runbooks. This essentials course covers the core knowledge needed to operate competently in this domain. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn the fundamental concepts, terminology, risks, and defenses that form the foundation for all further study and professional practice. Students build a solid knowledge base that prepares them for more advanced courses and real-world security responsibilities.
