On Tuesday (1/23) I'm sitting for the GIAC Cybersecurity GCIH (Certified Incident Handler) exam.
I'm not gonna lie, this one is intimidating. My other three GIAC certs were pretty heavy on theory (big textbooks, lots of reading). The GCIH course has much smaller textbooks, but 100+ tools/programs/scripts to learn, practice, and become proficient with. Not impossible, but definitely the most challenging cert, so far.
Shoutout to @joswr1ght for my most hands-on SANS course yet!
So, how'd it go?
Passed with a 96% I also managed to make the Dean's List!

The GIAC Incident Handler (GCIH) certification validates a practitioner's ability to detect, respond, and resolve computer security incidents using a wide range of essential security skills. GCIH certification holders have the knowledge needed to manage security incidents by understanding common attack techniques, vectors and tools, as well as defend against and respond to such attacks when they occur.
That's a fantastic score! Congrats on both!
