44 minutes

Course description

Even with the most thorough testing of a security infrastructure, at some point there will be problems. You may be able to stop them as they occur and before they cause any damage, or you may have to deal with investigation of an incident that you were unable to stop. At all times, having good security intelligence will help you keep your systems secure or make them secure again.
