Why this program matters
Without mastering Active Directory hardening, 95% of enterprise breaches exploit misconfigured AD flaws, according to the Verizon DBIR 2023 report, resulting in average losses of 4,45 million euros per incident.
Critical downtimes from attacks such as ransomware via Pass-the-Hash shut down operations, with an estimated hourly cost of 10 000 euros for a mid-sized company.
Administrators face GDPR penalties and career damage from failed audits.
Protect your infrastructure today by gaining these essential skills for proactive security.
Program
Module 1Active Directory Hardening Fundamentals: Initial Audit and Best Practices (Group Policy, Secure Schemas)
Discover classic Active Directory vulnerabilities through a structured audit using tools like BloodHound and ADRecon, analyze real enterprise risks, configure initial GPOs to limit excessive privileges, perform practical exercises on a dedicated lab simulating a forest domain, produce an initial evaluation report deliverable at the end of the day, integrate real cases of breaches avoided through early hardening.
