FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GIAC Enterprise Incident Response (GEIR) certification?
GEIR validates a practitioner's mastery of enterprise-class incident response and threat hunting tools and techniques. Certified professionals demonstrate advanced ability to manage large-scale investigations, correlate events across platforms, and analyse artifacts from Windows, Linux, macOS, containers, and cloud environments.
What are the GEIR exam requirements?
The GEIR exam consists of 82 questions, is web-based and proctored, has a 3-hour time limit, and requires a minimum passing score of 72%. Proctoring is available via ProctorU (remote) or PearsonVUE (onsite).
Does GEIR cover cloud and container incident response?
Yes — GEIR covers both cloud IR (including common cloud attack scenarios, artifact extraction, and analysis) and container DFIR (container architecture, common attack techniques, and forensic investigation strategies for containerised workloads).
Who should pursue the GEIR certification?
GEIR is ideal for incident response team leads and advanced practitioners, threat hunting professionals, experienced digital forensic analysts, enterprise detection engineers, federal agents and law enforcement professionals, and SANS DFIR alumni looking to apply forensic skills at enterprise scale.
Does GEIR cover Linux and macOS forensics?
Yes — GEIR covers both Linux and macOS DFIR fundamentals, including OS essentials, common attack techniques across the attack lifecycle, file system knowledge, key log locations, and full forensic and incident response investigation strategies for each platform.
What makes GEIR different from other IR certifications?
GEIR is specifically focused on enterprise-scale IR — managing large volumes of endpoints, aggregating disparate telemetry, rapid triage across hundreds of systems, and performing cross-platform artifact analysis. It is designed for senior practitioners, not beginners.
