To round out your skills as a cybersecurity practitioner, you'll analyze incidents and indicators of compromise (IOCs) using Windows- and Linux-based tools. Then, you'll deploy an incident handling and response architecture, mitigate incidents, and hand over incident information to forensic personnel. Lastly, you'll investigate cybersecurity incidents by applying a forensic investigation plan, securely collecting and analyzing electronic evidence, and following up on the results of an investigation.
