Very good Introduction to cyber incident response.

by PDMay 4, 2021

When following along during the videos there are many misspelled words or incorrect rendering of the instructors words. This can be confusing for the learner. Better editing/proof reading is needed.

Everything was covered in the first week, from basic terminologies to strategies on how to employ best practices.
