AWS Security for Non-Majors – Respond

The third installment in the AWS Security for Non-Majors series puts detection into action. Over two days, participants will work through a selection of realistic incident response scenarios drawn from AWS CIRT’s publicly released workshop library.

Attendees will practice investigating alerts, containing incidents, collecting evidence, and remediating compromised resources. Build the muscle memory needed to respond confidently when something goes wrong.

This course is the third in a series of three security courses. We encourage you to review AWS Security Foundations for Non-Majors – Protect | July 13 – Aug 7 and AWS Security for Non-Majors – Detect | Aug 19-20 and consider participating in the whole series.
