ISO IEC 27035 Foundation

Overview

Introduction:

Information security incident management defines how organizations detect, report, assess, and respond to security events that threaten information assets and operational continuity. ISO/IEC 27035 represents a structured framework that integrates incident identification, response coordination, and recovery within information security governance environments. This training program presents foundational incident management structures, process models, and coordination mechanisms that define how organizations manage information security incidents. It provides an institutional perspective on how incident handling processes align with risk management, business continuity, and organizational resilience.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Analyze information security incident management concepts and process structures.

  • Classify ISO/IEC 27035 components within incident handling environments.

  • Evaluate incident identification, reporting, and classification structures.

  • Assess coordination and response process structures within incident management.

  • Examine monitoring and communication mechanisms within incident handling processes.

Target Audience:

  • Information security and IT professionals.

  • Cybersecurity analysts and SOC team members.

  • Risk and compliance personnel.

  • ISMS team members.

  • Professionals interested in incident management fundamentals.
