Security principles Incident Response
RCCE students will learn core cybersecurity principles including least privilege, defense in depth, separation of duties, fail-safe defaults, economy of mechanism, complete mediation, open design, and psychological acceptability. RCCE students will learn to apply these principles when designing security architectures, evaluating system configurations, and making security trade-off decisions. The course covers how each principle translates into practical security controls, common violations of security principles that lead to breaches, and how to embed security-by-design thinking into organizational culture and system development processes. 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.
