What you'll learn

Learn about handling zero-day vulnerabilities from a DFIR point-of-view

Learn to organize and carry out intel gathering and risk assessment

Learn to organize and carry out scoping and detection tasks

Learn to organize and implement containment and mitigation strategies

Learn to organize and carry out a fast triage for compromise validation

Requirements

Description

Are you ready to become a skilled responder against zero-day vulnerabilities? This course provides you with the essential skills and techniques needed to effectively organize, evaluate, and respond to these critical security threats. You will be guided through practical guidelines to aid you in the initial stages of gathering intel and assessing risks, preparing you for the crucial containment and mitigation tasks required to handle a zero-day vulnerability.But that's not all - this course goes beyond the basics by teaching you scoping and detection tasks to effectively respond to zero-day vulnerabilities. You will also learn how to develop and implement a rapid triage strategy, enabling you to detect potential compromise quickly and minimize damage to your organization, ultimately saving valuable time and money.The course also highlights the importance of organizing your security tasks for maximum effectiveness, ensuring that you take the right steps at the right time. You will see these principles in action through the log4j zero-day vulnerability response example, which provides you with a real-world perspective on these critical security procedures. By the end of this course, you will have gained the skills and knowledge needed to respond effectively to zero-day vulnerabilities, making you an asset to any organization in protecting against potential cyber threats.
