Overview of this book

Cybersecurity roles have grown exponentially in the IT industry and an increasing number of organizations have set up security operations centers (SOCs) to monitor and respond to security threats. The 210-255 SECOPS exam is the second of two exams required for the Cisco CCNA Cyber Ops certification. By providing you with fundamental knowledge of SOC events, this certification validates your skills in managing cybersecurity processes such as analyzing threats and malicious activities, conducting security investigations, and using incident playbooks. You'll start by understanding threat analysis and computer forensics, which will help you build the foundation for learning intrusion analysis and incident response principles. The book will then guide you through vocabulary and techniques for analyzing data from the network and previous events. In later chapters, you'll discover how to identify, analyze, correlate, and respond to incidents, including how to communicate technical and inaccessible (non-technical) examples. You'll be able to build on your knowledge as you learn through examples and practice questions, and finally test your knowledge with two mock exams that allow you to put what you’ve learned to the test. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills to confidently pass the SECOPS 210-255 exam and achieve CCNA Cyber Ops certification.

Questions

  1. Why is mission a key element of an incident response plan?
    1. The IT team mission will dictate when a CSIRT is mobilized away from their day-to-day roles.
    2. The organization's mission will dictate which actions cannot be taken.
    3. The CSIRT mission will dictate what the team's priorities are.
    4. Every CSIRT's mission is the same, so including it in the plan informs senior management of this.
  2. NIST guidelines suggest that metrics are included in the incident response plan. What are these metrics there for?
    1. To measure the effectiveness of the plan
    2. To measure the severity of the incident before triggering the plan
    3. To measure the risk associated with the plan
    4. To quantify the value of the CSIRT
  3. Which of the following are actions within the preparation stage of incident management?
    1. Collecting and documenting evidence
    2. Training the CSIRT on the systems and technologies...
