What is ECIH?

The ECIH certifies structured handling of security incidents. The exam follows the incident handling process from preparation through triage, evidence gathering and forensic analysis, containment, eradication and recovery, to recording, notification and post-incident activities. It covers incidents involving malware, email, networks, web applications, cloud environments and insider threats, as well as endpoint incidents. According to the provider it addresses incident handlers, response team and SOC analysts, forensic investigators, and security professionals with at least one year of experience. The certification is ANAB-accredited and recognised under the US DoD 8140 directive.
