Study Guide - 300-215 CBRFIR: Conducting Forensic Analysis and Incident Response Using Cisco Technologies for CyberSecurity Exam

The 300-215 CBRFIR exam focuses on conducting forensic analysis and incident response using Cisco technologies to effectively detect, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity incidents. This certification covers a comprehensive range of topics, beginning with foundational concepts of digital forensics and incident response, including the principles and phases of incident handling such as preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned. Legal considerations and maintaining the chain of custody for digital evidence are emphasized to ensure integrity and compliance.

The guide delves into forensic techniques and procedures encompassing data collection, memory and disk forensics, network forensics, and log and artifact analysis, supported by hashing and imaging techniques for preserving evidence. Endpoint-based analysis teaches how to identify host-based indicators, analyze registries, file systems, running processes, and use Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) for malware detection and behavioral analysis.

Network-based analysis focuses on packet capture, protocol analysis, anomaly detection, and leveraging Cisco Secure Network Analytics (Stealthwatch) and NetFlow telemetry for threat detection. The importance of analyzing alert data and logs through normalization, correlation, and utilizing tools like Cisco SecureX and SIEMs is highlighted.

Threat hunting and intelligence integration explain methodologies for IOC enrichment, using threat intelligence platforms, open-source intelligence, and Cisco’s Threat Grid and Talos. The use of Cisco tools such as AMP, Threat Grid, Stealthwatch, and SecureX for forensics and incident response is covered thoroughly.

Finally, the guide outlines incident response playbooks, automation, best practices, compliance standards, and post-incident activities to ensure efficient and effective cybersecurity operations, supported by real-world scenarios and practice questions to reinforce learning.
