RCCE students will learn incident response playbook development, maintenance, and execution including playbook structure, decision trees, automation integration, and playbook testing. RCCE students will learn to develop incident response playbooks for common attack scenarios, structure playbooks with clear triggers, decision points, escalation criteria, and resolution steps, integrate playbook actions with SOAR platforms for automated execution, test and validate playbooks through tabletop exercises and simulations, maintain playbook currency as the threat landscape evolves, measure playbook effectiveness through response time and outcome metrics, and build a comprehensive playbook library that covers the full spectrum of organizational 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.
