Enterprise Security Operations and Access Management

Defend and Operate Enterprise Environments. Harden endpoints, manage identities, automate incident response, and preserve forensic evidence in hands-on labs. Enterprise security requires more than detection — it demands operational control across endpoints, identities, assets, and incident response. This course teaches you the practical skills to defend and manage enterprise environments end to end. You'll start by hardening endpoints through secure baselines, MDM/MAM policies, and WPA3-Enterprise RADIUS wireless authentication. From there, you'll build continuous vulnerability management lifecycles — cataloging assets, prioritizing remediation by business criticality, and governing the full asset lifecycle from procurement through secure disposal. The course then covers enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) using RBAC, ABAC, Single Sign-On, federated identity, and Privileged Access Management (PAM) vaulting. You'll configure centralized SIEM monitoring and run a Social Engineering Toolkit (SET) simulation in a hands-on lab. Finally, you'll evaluate SOAR automation playbooks for incident response, deploy an open-source pfSense firewall, and apply digital forensics procedures — including evidence collection, memory acquisition, and chain of custody. Every module features a scenario-based role-play exercise that puts you in realistic enterprise decision-making situations. Who this is for: SOC analysts, systems engineers, and IAM administrators seeking practical skills in endpoint hardening, vulnerability management, identity governance, incident response automation, and digital forensics.
