Overview

On this accelerated 3-day CyberSec First Responder (CFR) course, you'll learn the skills to monitor, detect and execute appropriate responses for IT security incidents - 40% faster than traditional training. With these skills, you'll become the first line of defense against cyber-attacks, boosting your business' existing IT security measures.

You'll be immersed in the curriculum through our unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique, which allows you learn and retain information faster.

Your expert instructor will introduce tools and tactics used to manage cyber security risks, teaching you to identify a range of common threats and how to collect and analyse cyber security intelligence. You'll learn how to:

  • Assess information security risk, attacks and post-attacks in computing and network environments.
  • Analyse the cyber security threat landscape and evaluate the organisation's security posture within a risk management framework
  • Analyse reconnaissance threats to computing and network environments.
  • Collect cybersecurity intelligence.
  • Analyse data collected from security and event logs.
  • Perform active analysis on assets and networks.
  • Investigate and respond to cyber security incidents.

During the course, you'll prepare for and sit the CyberSec First Responder CFR-210 exam, covered by your Certification Guarantee.

If you're a cyber security practitioner responsible for protecting information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation, this course is ideal for you. This course is also suitable for those looking to fulfill DoD directive 8570.01 for information assurance (IA) training.

Seven reasons why you should sit your CFR course with Firebrand Training

  1. You'll be CFR certified in just 3 days. With us, you’ll be CFR trained in record time
  2. Our CFR course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass CFR first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs
  4. You’ll learn more CFR. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn CFR faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying CFR with the best. We’ve been named in Training Industry’s “Top 20 IT Training Companies of the Year” every year since 2010. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 134,561 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study CFR courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering training. Courses that include certification come with a certification guarantee. Pass first time or train again for free (just pay for accommodation and exams on your return). We do not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.
