Kaspersky, a Russian multinational cybersecurity and anti-virus provider has announced the launch of a new Windows Incident Response training course.

The purpose of this was to provide in-house cybersecurity teams and information security professionals with the opportunity to expand their analytic skills in the incident response domain, particularly while they are in the midst of a ransomware attack.

It is known that cyber-attack is becoming ravenous these days and every company is navigating their way to improve their network security, but the question to ask is how do companies respond to cyber threats?

Some may say the answer lies within the capacity of the IT admins of the firm, but report has it that only a few can handle ransomware attacks.

Are Companies Prepared for a Ransomware Attack

According to a recent Kaspersky worldwide survey conducted for senior non-IT management and company owners, 73 percent of companies cannot handle a ransomware attack on their own or with the support of traditional IT service providers.

“The recent global study by Kaspersky titled “How do business executives perceive ransomware threat?”[1] confirms that most firms (73%) will have to seek the help of external incident response providers’ in the event of a ransomware attack. This is despite the fact that 66% of respondents consider there to be a high possibility of these attacks on their organization.”

Additionally, firms that have never had a ransomware assault are more prone to overestimate the abilities of their usual security suppliers and in-house IT staff. According to research, businesses that have previously faced similar risks use their current resources less often.

 

Kaspersky LeadingThe Way Forward

Kaspersky is willing to lend a helping hand to companies looking to improve the expertise of their in-house digital forensics and incident response teams. In addition, Kaspersky has expanded its online expert training portfolio to accommodate IT security practitioners who are looking to upgrade relevant skills. The Windows Incident Response course was designed by professionals with more than 12 years of expertise in the industry who are part of the company’s Global Emergency Response Team (GERT).

 

What The Course Entails

Students will be led through the process of incident detection by Ayman Shaaban, Digital Forensics and Incident Response Manager, and Kai Schuricht, Senior Incident Response Specialist, using the example of a real-life REvil ransomware case. The course places a heavy emphasis on the development of practical skills.

Kai Schuricht, Senior Incident Response Specialist at Kaspersky affirmed that “Incident Response capabilities require specialized skills to verify and handle threats in a timely manner, as well as to minimize the damage from an incident. Since no one is immune to a cyberattack, and it becomes increasingly more difficult to prevent a security perimeter penetration, remediation and the knowledge and experience of how to respond are more in demand than ever before.”

Furthermore, By the conclusion of the course, IT security professionals will be able to detect and react to a cyber incident, distinguish APTs from other threats, and explore attack tactics and focused assault anatomy via the Cyber Kill Chain. Participants will learn evidence collecting, incident identification, log file analysis, network analysis, IoC creation, and memory forensics.

“Responding to complex incidents and uncovering attack steps is a huge challenge for InfoSec experts. Within this new course, we’ve concentrated GERT knowledge gained from handling security incidents for Kaspersky customers around the globe. Our aim was not only to provide extensive theory around the subject but to also provide real applied skills through end-to-end ransomware case investigation.” comments Ayman Shaaban, Digital Forensic and Incident Response Manager at Kaspersky.

 

More Details Of The Course

Participants will have access to the platform for a period of six months in order to complete the training with self-guided training, which includes a total of 40 video lessons and 100 hours of virtual lab time for hands-on learning. This is being done in order to make the learning more suitable and adaptable for everyone. The length of the course is expected to be 15 hours.
