This was a really solid primer about incident response and covers the basic areas that need to be attended to when setting up an IR program. The contents reference back to the NIST documentation making it very easy to expand your knowledge after finishing. I would like to have seen less diagrams, a lot of them didn't need to be there.

Moving forward I have some actionable items to help me build a solid IR process.
