Incident Response, BC, and DR Concepts

Welcome to course 2 of 5 of this Specialization, Incident Response, BC, and DR Concepts.

This course focuses on the availability part of the CIA triad and the importance of maintaining availability of both human and system resources.

After completing this course, the participant will be able to: 

Explain how organizations respond to, recover from and continue to operate during unplanned disruptions.

• Recall the terms and components of incident response.
• Summarize the components of a business continuity plan.
