Security Hardening

Overview

This course helps you familiarize themselves with network hardening practices that strengthen network systems over time. Security professionals work against experiencing numerous security breaches, which is why it is important to take preliminary security measures to remain one step ahead of attackers. Malicious actors are constantly evolving in their intrusion methods and network security hardening is a defensive strategy that aims to prevent or lessen the chances of future attacks taking place. Security hardening also involves securing applications over cloud systems and addressing the unique security challenges posed by cloud infrastructures. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Describe network and cloud hardening techniques that target network vulnerabilities - Describe OS hardening techniques - Describe network hardening techniques - Explain cloud security practices

Syllabus

Introduction to Security hardening

In this module, you will learn about security hardening, an essential practice in network security. It involves strengthening systems to reduce their vulnerability and attack surface.

OS hardening

You will learn about OS hardening how it is essential to keep an entire network secure. You'll also learn how OS hardening practices will help keep the devices safe.
