About the INE Security’s eCIR Exam
INE Security’s eCIR is the only certification for Incident Responders that evaluates your ability to use cutting-edge Incident Response techniques within a fully featured and real-world environment.
Candidates will receive a real-world engagement within INE’s Virtual Lab environment. To carry out this exam, you will need an internet connection and VPN software.
Why eCIR?
Here are some of the ways the Certified Incident Responder (eCIR) certification is different from conventional exams:
– **Real-World Simulations**: Instead of a series of multiple-choice questions, you are expected to perform actual Incident Response activities on two different corporate networks. Both Incident Response simulations are modeled after real-world scenarios and cutting-edge attacking techniques.
– **Comprehensive Methodologies**: You will need to blend multiple detection and analysis methodologies to effectively respond to the exam’s incidents. This includes traffic analysis, event/log analysis within ELK and Splunk, and event correlation.
– **Practical Proof of Findings**: Only individuals who provide proof of their findings, in addition to identifying any attacker activities, are awarded the eCIR Certification.
Knowledge Domains
By obtaining the eCIR certification, your skills in the following areas will be assessed and certified:
– Network packet/traffic analysis
– Tools such as Wireshark, ELK, and Splunk
– Actionable SIEM searches
– Event and log correlation
– Event analysis
– Process analysis and anomaly detection
– Understanding and detecting any stage of the “Cyber Kill Chain” (Information Gathering, Scanning, Exploitation, Post-exploitation)
Prerequisites
The eCIR is a highly technical certification that requires advanced knowledge of networks, systems, and cyber-attacks. While anyone can attempt the certification exam, the following skills are recommended for a successful outcome:
