Zero-Trust Approach to IR playbooks
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 zero-trust course applies modern security principles including least privilege, continuous verification, and explicit trust evaluation. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to implement zero-trust architectures that assume breach and verify every access request regardless of network location. Students build practical zero-trust implementations that align with organizational security modernization goals.
