Threat landscape Incident Response
RCCE students will learn the current cybersecurity threat landscape including advanced persistent threats, cybercrime ecosystems, hacktivism, insider threats, and emerging attack techniques. RCCE students will learn to track threat landscape changes through intelligence sources, assess organizational exposure to prevailing threats, map threats to specific business assets and processes, prioritize security investments based on threat-informed risk analysis, brief leadership on threat landscape developments, and continuously update security strategies as the threat landscape evolves across geopolitical, technological, and criminal dimensions. 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.
