For new and legacy enterprises alike, Defending the Enterprise explores the configuration practices and opportunities that secure networks, Windows, and Active Directory from the most common and effective adversarial techniques.
For the luckiest of enterprises, the awareness of an insecure environment is proven not in public discord after a breach but instead by effective security penetration tests. Time and time again Jordan and Kent have witnessed organizations struggle with network management, Active Directory, organizational change, and an increasingly experienced adversary.
Have the confidence that your organization is prepared for tomorrow’s security threats by learning how to defend against network poisoning, credential abuse, exploitable vulnerabilities, lateral movement, and privilege escalation. Learn cost-effective mitigations to contemporary adversarial attacks.
The best defended networks are those which have matured from countless penetration tests and security incidents. Learn from Kent and Jordan, two seasoned offensive and defensive security experts, to shortcut your organization’s security posture into a well-fortified fortress.
This course is a must for corporations just bringing their information security program online and for organizations seeking to improve their security posture. This course will prepare an organization for detecting and defending against modern attackers, for penetration tests, and for any security audit or compliance framework.
Organizations looking to effectively defend their information security operations without costly additional administrative overhead will also benefit from the demonstrated defensive methodology. Defending the Enterprise provides budget-conscious solutions that limit and reduce additional product licensing costs. The tools and techniques demonstrated in this course will also supplement an organization’s existing software and tools that may be underutilized or not utilized at all.
