AppSec Incident Response Course

Each day of this course will feature a video from our Application Security Foundations Level 3 course. You can either watch the video on our academy or read the text where we’ll recap everything. Afterwards, we’ll test your understanding through a quick two-question quiz.

The topics that will be covered are:

1. What is Incident Response?

2. Create an incident response process

3. Inventory

4. Backups and Rollbacks

5. During the Incident (The Process)

6. Post-Mortem

7. Wrap-up

Incident response found its way into our technological vernacular back in 1988 when the first internet worm — dubbed “The Morris Worm” — was released. In response, the Computer Emergency Response Team/ Coordination Center (CERT/CC) by DARPA was formed.

The goal of this nascent organization was to provide a central hub for communicating and coordinating a response to security incidents. In a nutshell, the goal of incident response is to quickly contain and mitigate an incident, with an impetus to limit damage while reducing recovery time and costs.
