This intermediate module introduces the core principles of Incident Response (IR) tailored specifically for modern cloud environments. You will learn how to adapt the traditional NIST IR lifecycle to handle ephemeral infrastructure, serverless functions, and containerized workloads. The curriculum covers building cloud-specific IR playbooks, navigating the shared responsibility model during a breach, and coordinating with cloud service providers to ensure rapid, effective containment, eradication, and recovery.

## Lessons

1. What Is Cloud IR and Why Does It Differ from On-Prem IR (30 min)
2. Cloud-Native Log Sources (CloudTrail, Activity Logs) (30 min)
3. Guided Lab: Triaging a Cloud Security Alert (30 min)
