In this course, you’ll analyze real-life breach response case studies in areas such as phishing, vishing, point of sale (PoS) breaches, insider threats, AI-related breaches, and ransomware attacks. You’ll discover how attackers exploit vulnerabilities and how organizations respond and prevent future incidents. Additionally, you’ll gain expertise in incident response, digital forensics, penetration testing, and compliance through engaging case study analysis. You’ll complete several hands-on activities to assess response strategies and propose improvements. The course concludes with a final project, where you’ll select a real-world data breach, identify vulnerabilities, and assess the root cause, actions taken, and response strategies. Plus, a structured template will guide you to critically record observations and propose actionable improvements for breach management. This capstone course is a fantastic experience to talk about in interviews!
