Incident Response and Digital Forensics

Incident handling from start to finish

This IBM course covers the full path of an incident: detecting it, analyzing what happened, and mitigating the damage. Digital forensics sits alongside response, covering how evidence is gathered and handled so that an investigation holds up.

Frameworks and methods

• NIST and SANS incident response frameworks
• Digital forensics methodologies and evidence handling
• Threat detection and mitigation practice
• Forensic investigation with industry-standard tools

Where it fits

The course is pitched at intermediate learners. It suits people who already work with security alerts and now need a structured method for investigating them. Hands-on labs and projects are part of the design, so the practical exercises are likely to matter as much as the lectures.
