Move from detection to action
IR-200: Foundational Incident Response for managing the full incident lifecycle
INE’s incident response path offers technical depth, but cybersecurity demands more than analysis. Success requires skills across the full response lifecycle—combining detection, containment, and recovery with practical strategies that work in any environment.
That’s where IR-200: Foundational Incident Response excels. Developed by OffSec, the creators of OSCP, this course provides hands-on experience across dynamic, real-world scenarios, ensuring you’re ready to respond to threats from the first alert to full remediation.
The OffSec Difference
Real-world scenarios for practical application
While INE’s Incident Handling Response Path emphasizes detection and forensics, IR-200 focuses on practical strategies across incident response, ensuring operational competence.
Comprehensive incident response training
IR-200 prepares learners to handle the entire lifecycle of incidents, from early threat detection to complete recovery, equipping them with the skills to manage incidents end-to-end.
Broader incident response skills for real impact
While both programs include hands-on exams, the IR-200 course emphasizes a well-rounded approach, helping learners develop technical skills for dynamic enterprise environments.
