1 CENTER FOR ADVANCED SECURITY TRAINING 616 Securing Windows Infrastructure Make The Difference

2 About Center of Advanced Security Training () The rapidly evolving information security landscape now requires professionals to stay up to date on the latest security technologies, threats and remediation strategies. was created to address the need for quality advanced technical training for information security professionals who aspire to acquire the skill sets required for their job functions. courses are advanced and highly technical training programs co-developed by and well-respected industry practitioners or subject matter experts. aims to provide specialized training programs that will cover key information security domains, at an advanced level.

3 Securing Windows Infrastructure Course Description Windows Infrastructure Hardening has become a mandatory step performed on a regular basis by any organization that sees security as a priority. Businesses nowadays are almost fully dependent on IT services, making the hardening and securing processes even more intense. The number of possible attack surfaces has emerged exponentially in direct relation to the increasingly competitive field of current technology we are witnessing where developers try to achieve more and more functionality from implemented solutions and applications. The 616: Securing Windows Infrastructure is designed with the single purpose of providing Info-Sec professionals with complete knowledge and practical skills necessary to secure their network infrastructure which is fast becoming if already not a top priority plus a major tech challenge for most security conscious organizations. This 3 day training deep dives into the key aspects of solving infrastructure-related problems by appreciating the key elements of how Windows Internal Security mechanisms actually work and how it can be further optimized without jeopardizing or easing an organization s IT Environment configuration settings which becomes common as time passes. Some of the highlights of this course are techniques used in Kernel Debugging, Malware hunting, deep diving into BitLocker and the automation of the whole hardening process.

4 Why You Should Attend?
