Incident response: preparation phase

This course equips participants with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to prepare an organisation for potential cyber incidents. The preparation phase is a critical component of incident response, ensuring that teams are ready, systems are secure and proper protocols are in place to prevent or minimise security incidents.

The course is part of the Cyrus project funded under the DIGITAL Europe Programme of the European Union which aims to propose a novel training programme to develop a cybersecurity innovation DNA and support companies in transport and manufacturing to respond to and mitigate cyber threats and attack.
