Introduction to GCIH Exam

The GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) certification is an IT / IS security document intended to demonstrate the competence and understanding of a person to detect, respond and resolve cybersecurity incidents in a corporate environment. GIAC was founded by the SANS Institute (a private US company) in 1999.
