What you’ll learn
On this CREST Registered Intrusion Analyst (CRIA) course, you'll become familiar with the whole story of a cyber-attack, from intrusion detection to malware reverse engineering.
This is the first cross discipline course of its kind that covers the essential knowledge and hands-on practical skills needed for intrusion detection, incident handling, computer/network forensics and malware reverse engineering.
This CRIA training will teach you essential knowledge and hands-on practical skills through Firebrand's unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique.
Your expert instructor will guide you through how to detect and handle an attack and how to trace, acquire, investigate, analyse and re-construct the incident. You'll learn to lay groundwork for malware analysis by presenting the key tools and techniques malware analysts use to examine malicious programs.
You'll also learn:
Soft Skills and Incident Handling: Record-keeping and incident chronology
Core Technical Skills: IP protocols, OS fingerprinting and host analysis techniques
Background Information Gathering & Open Source: DNS
Network Intrusion Analysis: Network traffic capture, incoming attacks and false positive acknowledgement

While taking this course, you have 24/7 access to labs so you can test your theoretical skills with practical exercises.

FAQs
Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's accelerated courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.
Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible. You don’t waste time travelling to several courses and finding an exam centre after that.
Firebrand's accelerated courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.
If you need to learn new skills and you want to be able to put them into practice quickly, then Firebrand is the right training company for you.
Our unique accelerated training method means that we are your fastest way to learn. By delivering training for up to 12 hours per day, seven days per week, with exam centres on-site, we ensure that you are trained and certified quicker than anywhere else, having spent less time out of the office away from the day job.
