COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course covers a comprehensive range of topics aimed at securing operating systems against various threats. It begins with an exploration of different hardening approaches, identification of default configuration weaknesses, and the implementation of the Zero-Trust model for network security. Participants learn to manage trusted sources for Linux installations and third-party software, as well as the significance of drivers and libraries signing. The course addresses OS patching and updating processes for Windows and Linux, cryptography for encrypting storage in both environments, and certificates management for secure communication. Participants also gain knowledge and skills in access and authentication methods, including the Least Privilege Principle, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and privilege access management tools.
