Managing Information Security Incidents (ISO/IEC 27002)
Breaches happen—what matters is your response speed and precision. This course teaches you the ISO/IEC 27002 framework for detecting, containing and recovering from security incidents before they escalate. In under 2 hours, you’ll gain the incident management playbook that enterprise security teams rely on.
AIU.ac Verdict: Essential for security operations staff, incident responders and compliance officers who need to operationalise ISO/IEC 27002 controls. The course is tightly focused on incident handling; it doesn’t cover broader information security governance or risk assessment frameworks.
What This Course Covers
You’ll work through the incident management lifecycle: detection and classification, containment strategies, evidence preservation and recovery procedures. The course maps directly to ISO/IEC 27002 control objectives, showing you how to implement detection mechanisms, establish escalation protocols and document lessons learned. Expect practical guidance on timelines, communication chains and post-incident reviews.
Paul Gadbois structures the content around real-world scenarios: identifying when an incident has occurred, isolating affected systems, gathering forensic evidence and restoring operations. You’ll understand the relationship between incident response and broader security controls, plus how to measure response effectiveness against ISO/IEC 27002 benchmarks.

May not suit:
- Security architects: This course focuses on incident execution, not designing security architectures or control frameworks
