Course Overview

The professional and lawful response to managing an incident can be the difference between company survival or otherwise. Poor responses to major incidents, including mega data breaches, have significantly damaged organisational reputations and financial performance. Significantly mismanaging a cyber incident can result in catastrophic personal and organisational consequences. Such business ‘impacts’ are covered in-depth within our Threat and Risk units at Levels 2, 3 and 4. and will be explored during this Level 5 unit as part of the contextual case-study learning, and isomorphic reflections, that are central to this unit. 

In this course learners will explore the types of site, personnel and equipment required in relation to planning for Incident. Management and forming an organisational CERT team (Computer Emergency Response Team). They will then explore the core sub-disciplines and side-disciplines of Cyber Incident Management: Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity Management and Crisis Management. Learners will discuss the importance of the business organisational requirement for skilled and planned communications to operate in combination with advanced and developed management responses and strategy.
