The CFR course is an interactive, hands-on boot camp that enhances incident response skills and cross-trains IT professionals. One of the key benefits of the CFR program is it attracts problem solvers with the technical and functional skills that can work across industries and job types. The course is aimed at improving the front lines of defense. The course focuses on improving the KSAs needed to conduct vulnerability assessments with various tools; correlate data from multiple sources; identify, collect, and analyze data that may be used as evidence in an investigation, criminal or otherwise; and assess the behavior of personnel involved in an incident. The course covers analyzing technology and threat landscape trend data; how to collect and analyze intelligence data; coordinating the roles of an incident response team as well as external communication. The course promotes a comprehensive approach to security including performing both non-technical and technical evaluations of risk and vulnerabilities.
