Syllabus: Detail syllabus is available.

Real-World Scenario (Course Overview):

Ojehtrade & Co., Inc., a multi-billion dollar brokerage firm with $789 billion in assets, based in New York, NY, with offices throughout the USA has recently suffered a massive computer intrusion. The target systems involved are running on Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X systems. Ojehtrade knew about this intrusion because the cyber criminals sent a message to the firm's executives demanding $5 million dollars in "ransom" and have threatened to contact the media and publish the compromised data online if their demands aren't met within 72 hours.

Ojehtrade is surprised, given the heavy investment in corporate IT security measures, that they were hacked. Your firm, The Forensics Gurus LLC, has been hired by Turner Worten Fitzgerald LLP, a prestigious law firm representing Ojehtrade to handle this high-profile investigation at a bill rate of $450/hr. As the senior incident responder, you have been asked to interrupt your long-scheduled Mediterranean cruise to lead this high-profile incident response engagement.  The client wants to know:  

  • What, if any, is the extent of the damage/compromise?
  • What data has been lost or compromised?
  • Where did the hacker(s) come from?
  • What is the timeline of the hacking activities?
  • What can be done to prevent intrusions in the future?

Incident Response is a time-consuming effort that requires specialized expertise, procedures, tools, and real-world investigative skills. NetSecurity's Hands-On How-To® Incident Response course teaches students the step-by-step process of locating, acquiring, preserving, analyzing, and producing solid digital evidence. The Hands-On How-To ® Lab Exercises (HOHTLEs) covered in the course incorporate significant real-world experience necessary for delivering legally admissible world-class results in the field.
