SIEM Incident Response: Basics
RCCE students will learn Security Information and Event Management platform deployment, configuration, and operations including log ingestion, parsing, correlation rule development, dashboard creation, and alert management. RCCE students will learn to deploy and configure SIEM platforms for enterprise security monitoring, design log collection architectures, write correlation rules that detect attack patterns, build operational dashboards for security analysts, manage alert workflows and escalation procedures, tune SIEM performance and storage, integrate threat intelligence feeds, and maintain SIEM content as the threat landscape and organizational infrastructure evolve. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. Starting from foundational concepts, 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.
