Playbooks Threats and Detection: Fast Track
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 threat-focused course teaches students to think like adversaries while building robust defenses. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to analyze attack techniques, build detection logic, and implement defensive strategies that proactively identify threats before they cause damage. Students develop a threat-informed mindset that drives better security decisions across all operational activities.
