The CPIA course leads to the CREST Practitioner Intrusion Analyst (CPIA) exam, which is an entry level qualification that tests a candidate’s knowledge on all three subject areas of network intrusion, host intrusion and malware reverse engineering at a basic level below that of the main CRIA and Certified qualifications.

This course prepares the student for a career in Incident Response and provides all of the tools and teaches the techniques needed by a practicing professional. This is the first cross discipline course of its’ kind that covers the essential knowledge and skills. Needed for intrusion detection, incident handling, computer/network forensics and malware reverse engineering.

This course raises the bar and sets a new security baseline for aspiring Intrusion Analysis and Digital Forensics professionals. Every team member should take this course before embarking upon their very own, more specialised, career path.

You will learn how to detect an attack, how to handle it, how to trace and acquire the evidence, investigate, analyse and re-construct the incident. We then lay the groundwork for malware analysis. by presenting the key tools and techniques malware analysts use to examine malicious programs. Quizzes and tests throughout, with feedback, re-enforce the knowledge and prepare you for the CPIA multiple choice exam.

Following this course a student may challenge the CREST core skills exam. resulting in the CREST Practitioner Intrusion Analyst (CPIA) professional qualification. which is a pre-requisite for the CREST Registered Intrusion Analyst (CRIA) professional qualification. The CRIA exam can be challenged later, once more experience has been gained in real life scenarios.
