// THREAT DETECTION AND DATA PRIVACY TERM
Training
In cybersecurity, training refers to structured programs designed to teach individuals and teams how to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber incidents effectively. It ensures personnel have the necessary skills to protect systems and data from attacks.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Cybersecurity incident response training is a critical organizational capability development process that equips security teams, IT staff, and general employees with the requisite skills, knowledge, and procedural understanding to effectively detect, analyze, contain, eradicate, recover from, and conduct post-incident reviews of cyber incidents, frequently leveraging simulations, tabletop exercises, and specialized technical courses.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
