The Learni story
Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.
Don't let this gap widen
Why this program matters
Without Active Directory hardening, 81% of enterprise breaches exploit AD vulnerabilities according to Verizon DBIR 2024, resulting in average losses of 4,5 millions d'euros per incident.
IT teams spend 35% more time on urgent remediations, with 70% of ransomware targeting domain controllers directly.
In 2026, CIS and NIST standards will render 60% of poorly secured AD environments non-compliant, exposing your career and company to devastating audits, GDPR fines, and ruthless competition.
Every day without hardening skills widens a critical gap against attackers who evolve faster.
