The CyberSec First Responder: Threat Detection and Response course prepares the candidates to protect the IT infrastructure of their organizations against cyber-attacks. The course also teaches the candidates to execute a properly planned response to such incidents. The tools and techniques taught in this course are independent of the size and scope of the organization as the course is based on the common threats, risks and their mitigation techniques which are applicable universally.

The candidates are advised to have some knowledge of basic networking technologies such as TCP/IP, routing protocols, network security and VPNs. In addition to this, the candidates are also supposed to have at least two years of professional experience in network administration or a similar field.
